Gävle has an excellent bus network connecting most suburban areas with city center. Lines #1-4 are express services while lines with higher numbers usually take longer routes. Line #13 starts departing for Läkerol Arena, the hockey stadium, a few hours before a match. All buses stop at Rådhustorget in central Gävle.
Taxi service is usually reliable and can show up on short notice 15min or less, although on busy weekends you might have to wait up to 45 minutes. A typical ride will cost you somewhere between 100-140 SEK. As in most places in urban Sweden taxi drivers speak good English.
You can get to about everywhere in town on bicycle. Walking is the obvious option in the compact city center, it takes less than ten minutes to walk from the central Stortorget square to the pubs and restaurants of Söder. Most hotels are clustered around these two areas too. The train station is at the eastern end of the central shopping district.
