The bladder and portions of the Ureters is lined with Transitional Epithelium. Transitional epithelium contains cells that are flattened and cells that are cuboidal; hence the name "transitional".
Another way to remember transitional epithelium is that the cells have the capacity to stretch and flatten so the bladder can expand. With the way they are shaped, they are really flat when the bladder is empty and they stretch out as the bladder is filled signaling the full bladder feeling.

RE:
What is the tissue lining the urinary bladder?

Lining the urinary bladder would be straified squamous epithelium (flat cells)....but the urinary bladder is actually composed of stratified cuboidal epithelium (square or circular cells), also called transitional epithelium because of its ability to stretch. Lots of big words, I know.
