Mobility and travel

From the AP travel story, "Live large on small sums in Frankfurt."

A world financial center packed with investment bankers sounds like a tough place to do on a budget, but even the Manhattan of continental Europe has secrets aplenty for the thrifty.
From beautiful outside gardens to sizzling sausages, many of the city's pleasures are actually the cheapest.

GETTING AROUND: Frankfurt is so compact that walking is the best way to see it, but for 1.90 euros ($2.40) you can use the U-Bahn in the city center (4.60 euros or $5.90 for a day pass). For 6 euros ($7.65), tour the city on the "Ebbelwei Express," an old streetcar named after the drink served free on board, apple wine. If that's not to your liking, there is juice and of course pretzels.
