Sapporo - Post Report Question and Answers
Are local buses, trams, trains or taxis safe and affordable?
Local trains, buses, and taxis are extremely safe. They are not affordable, particularly taxis. For my 25 or so minute walk home, if I were to take a taxi it would likely cost nearly $15. To get from my house to the train station, which I can bike in less than 30 minutes, it costs nearly $30. Buses from one stop to the next are about $2, but don't go up a lot from there. You cannot transfer, though, so if you have to take a couple of buses you're paying every time. The shortest ride on the subway is about $2.75. Longer trips across town will set you back about $5 one-way. - Sep 2011
