The public transit service in Downtown is somewhat poor. Thankfully, house owners have access to a few bus lines, and bus stops are not very far away from most properties. On the other hand, driving is a great mode of transportation in Downtown. It is very convenient to access a parking spot, and it is a short car ride to the closest highway from any home in this area.
