Transport

Walking is enjoyable within certain areas, such as Five Points South, though getting from district to district on foot can be challenging. However, Birmingham boasts Alabama's largest transit system, with Metro Area Express (MAX) providing fixed-route buses and vintage trolleys. Bus service ends at 9pm. Some trolley routes stop earlier, though others continue to run until midnight. There are several taxi companies offering 24-hour service.
