Transport
Please not public transport generally in MK is difficult. Also in my estate it’s even worse as there’s no local bus so recommend those with a car only. The nearest bus stop is about 25 mins walk away and you could be waiting 30 mins plus for the next bus into town. Taxis are quite expensive but I’d recommend ‘Skyline’ over ‘Uber’ in terms of prices. Skyline has an app. A cheaper way to travel is using a new service called ‘MKConnect’ which also has an app. It’s between using a taxi and a bus. You book your travel in real time and it will tell you when the next MKConnect bus is available.
