Strasbourg is a real eco-friendly city: here you can forget about your car, and rely on your bike or the awesome and super easy public transport system run by CTS, which includes trams, buses, and even night services.
Spoiler alert! BEFORE boarding any tram, make sure to have your ticket, as there are no on-board sales available. You can purchase on board buses.
