Characteristics

Transportation

Driving is a very good means of transportation in Bristol. It is very easy to find a place to park. In contrast, public transit riders may have few options in Bristol by reason of the infrequent service. Thankfully, homeowners benefit from a few bus lines, and bus stops are not very far from most residences. Getting around as a pedestrian in Bristol is not very common, even though meeting daily needs is easy without the use of a car. This city is also not very bicycling-friendly since the cycling infrastructure is rather limited, and bicycling is made strenuous by the often hilly terrain.
