Nonetheless, there are a few bus lines traversing the neighborhood, and bus stops are not very far-removed from most houses. Although riding is facilitated by the generally flat terrain, Bay Colony is not very suited for bicycling because there are few bike lanes. Many of the homes for sale in this neighborhood are located in areas that are also not very conducive to those who get around as pedestrians since few day-to-day errands can be run without needing a car.
