Characteristics

Transportation

In contrast, this postal code is not very transit friendly. Nevertheless, there are approximately 20 bus lines crossing the postal code, and bus stops are commonly around the corner. Getting around as a pedestrian is not very practical for residents in Zip Code 13209 as most daily needs are occasionally challenging to meet without a vehicle. This postal code is also not very cycling-friendly since the cycling infrastructure is not very well-developed, and bicycle riders are faced with a considerable amount of slopes.
