Rail services in the area are limited. All of the villages have some level of bus provision, with Stranraer, Newton Stewart and Dumfries being the main hubs for this type of transport.
Taxis are another option for short journeys, with most towns having at least one taxi company.
Although it's feasible to get around by public transport to some extent, many of the highlights in the region are only really accessible if you have your own transport.
