Remember that train tickets are often cheaper if you book in advance.
Bus fares vary depending on where you live. If you are going to use the bus regularly, it may be worth buying a buss pass. These will probably be available for a week, month or year.

The healthy option! Make sure you get a helmet, lights and a decent lock. You should get your bike insured as they're easy things to steal.
