However, the transit network in Canby is not very accessible. Thankfully, there are a few bus lines passing through the community, and the closest bus stop is generally around the corner. It is sometimes difficult for pedestrians to navigate Canby since few daily needs can be carried out without the use of a vehicle. Despite the fact that there are a limited number of hills for cyclists to brave, this part of the Portland metropolitan area is also not particularly amenable to cycling because there are few bike lanes.
