Bethany is a fairly convenient part of Lincoln for driving. Finding a parking spot is easy. However, Bethany is not very transit friendly. Thankfully, house owners are served by a few bus lines, and the nearest bus stop is usually very close by. This neighborhood is not particularly appropriate for biking since the cycling network is rather poor, and there are a fair number of elevation changes. Traveling as a pedestrian is also not very common in Bethany, even though many daily needs can be met without a vehicle.
