Nevertheless, there are a few bus lines passing through the community, and bus stops are usually around the corner. Bicycling is difficult in Maunawili because bike riders are faced with quite a few hills, and the bicycling infrastructure is not very well-developed. Traveling as a pedestrian is also not very convenient for house buyers in Maunawili as running common errands is challenging without needing to resort to a car.
