However, residents using public transit may experience limited options in this part of Topeka as a result of the infrequent service. Nonetheless, house owners have access to about 10 bus lines, and most homes are very close to a bus stop. It is convenient to move around by bike in this part of Topeka as it is an even ride to most destinations, and the cycling infrastructure is very well-developed.
