Transportation

The bicycle is a reasonably good mode of transportation in this city. Camden is also a fairly pleasant part of the Greater Philadelphia metropolitan area for pedestrians; many daily errands can be run without a vehicle, and various businesses are close by. Commuting by transit can be sometimes difficult in Camden due to the infrequent service. Nonetheless, there are plenty of rapid transit stations on the Westbound to Philadelphia, Riverline Light Rail and Market-Frankford Line. There are over 50 bus lines crossing the city, and bus stops are not very far-removed from most properties. On the other hand, driving is a reasonably good transportation option in Camden. It is a short car ride to the nearest highway, such as N Freeway, from anywhere in Camden, and it is convenient to park.

Reaching parks, such as Petty's Island Preserve and Knight Park, is easy from many locations within the city since there are over 200 of them close by for residents to visit. This part of the Greater Philadelphia metropolitan area is also reasonably good for those who enjoy quiet surroundings, as the streets are calm - although that is not the case around one of the railway lines, I-76 or N Freeway.
