Nonetheless, residents are served by a few bus lines, and bus stops are typically very close by. Georgetown is not particularly suited for cycling as the bicycling infrastructure is fairly poor. Nonetheless, cyclists do not encounter serious elevation changes, people often choose to travel by bicycle, and biking is more feasible in certain sectors than others. Georgetown is also not especially suitable for pedestrians because few day-to-day errands can be run without needing to resort to a car.
