Transportation

This neighbourhood provides home buyers with several alternative means of transportation. The very good public transit infrastructure makes transit a viable option for many as a consequence of 2 rapid transit stations (Columbia Station and New Westminster Station) on the Expo Skytrain, and a few nearby bus lines. Active people will also value the reasonably walk-friendly nature of Downtown; carrying out daily needs is convenient, and a fair number of businesses of different types can be found as well. Cycling is difficult in Downtown as bicycle riders are faced with quite a few slopes, and the bicycling network is not very well-developed.
