Карла Маркса, Днепропетровск.jpg|right|thumb|Akademik [[Dmytro Yavornytsky|Yavornitskyi]] Prospekt, Dnipro's central avenue, features a green pedestrian boulevard and a tram line]] The main forms of public transport used in Dnipro are trams, buses and electric [[Trolleybus|trolley buses]]. In addition to this there are a large number of taxi firms operating in the city, and many residents have private cars. The city's municipal roads also suffer from the same funding problems as the trams, with many of them in a very poor technical state.{{citation needed|date=July 2013}} It is not uncommon to find very large potholes and crumbling surfaces on many of Dnipro's smaller roads. Major roads and highways are of better quality.

Transit through the city is also available. {{As of|2011}} the city is also seeing construction of a southern urban bypass, which will allow automobile traffic to proceed around the city centre. This is expected to both improve air quality and reduce transport issues from heavy freight lorries that pass through the city centre.{{citation needed|date=November 2011}} The largest bus station in [[eastern Ukraine]] is located in Dnipro, from where bus routes are available to all over the country, including some international routes to [[Poland]], Germany, [[Moldova]] and [[Turkey]].

There are two railway terminals, [[Dnipro Railway station|Dnipro Holovnyi]] (main station) and Dnipro Lotsmanska (south station). Two express passenger services run each day between [[Kyiv]] and Dnipro under the name 'Capital Express'. Other daytime services include suburban trains to towns and villages in the surrounding [[Dnipropetrovsk Oblast]]. Most long-distance trains tend to run at night to reduce the amount of daytime hours spent travelling by each passenger. Domestic connections exist between Dnipro and [[Kyiv]], [[Lviv]], [[Odesa]], [[Ivano-Frankivsk]], [[Truskavets]], [[Kharkiv]] and many other smaller Ukrainian cities, while international destinations include, among others the Bulgarian seaside resort of [[Varna, Bulgaria|Varna]].
