Day ticket
Bus is the most economy transportation for Kyoto due to well planned network reaching almost every attraction and cheap: Yen 220 per single journey for adult, but with Yen 500 you get a day ticket. (2008 price)
The downside is that it is time consuming: 1) bus is not very frequent, sometime 20mins waiting time. and 2) it is slow due to many stops.
Besides, after 3pm, traffic could become horrible in Kyoto, I once in a bus moved on 5 km in 40 mins!! almost missed my train.
TAXI is a good alternative, cheaper than Tokyo, but many of them dont take credit card.
