However, public transit users may have few options in Ann Arbor by reason of the infrequent service. Thankfully, residents benefit from approximately 30 bus lines, and most houses are very close to a bus stop. This area is reasonably cycling-friendly. Getting around as a pedestrian is not particularly convenient for house buyers in Ann Arbor as few common errands can be run without the use of a vehicle, and there are also a fair number of businesses nearby.
