Characteristics

Transportation

Cars are a very good means of transportation in this postal code. It is straightforward to access a place to park, and many properties for sale are a reasonably short drive from the nearest highway. However, public transit users may find limited choices in this postal code as a result of the low service level. Nonetheless, residents are served by about 10 bus lines, and most properties are very close to a bus stop. This postal code is not particularly suitable for pedestrians since few common errands can be run without the use of a car. The bicycle is a rather poor method of transportation in Zip Code 12302 since there are a fair number of slopes, and the cycling infrastructure is rather limited.
