On the other hand, the public transit access in Chaumiere is fairly poor. Nevertheless, residents benefit from a few bus lines, and bus stops are usually around the corner. The bike is a sometimes poor method of transportation in Chaumiere as there are a good number of slopes, and the bicycling infrastructure is not particularly comprehensive. It is also sometimes difficult for pedestrians to navigate this part of the city because few common errands can be run without a vehicle.
