The city of Banská Bystrica is rather small and you will reach everything on foot if you stay close to the city centre. Public transport lines bypass the historical centre and cars are limited by a system of one-way roads and restricted areas.
If you need to reach outskirts of the city, you can use taxi or bus and trolleybus lines.
