Transportation

The favored transportation option in Rodeo is very often driving. It is convenient to park, and it is a reasonably short car ride to the closest highway, such as Eastshore Freeway, from anywhere in this community. However, the public transit service in this part of the Bay Area metropolitan area is not very frequent. Thankfully, property owners are served by about 10 bus lines, and bus stops are usually very close by. It is at times difficult for pedestrians to move around in Rodeo because few daily needs can be met without a car. Rodeo is also not particularly conducive to cycling as there are quite a few slopes, and the cycling infrastructure is sometimes poor.
