This part of the city also features a fairly good public transit system. For example, the neighbourhood is linked by over 50 bus lines, and bus stops are ordinarily nearby. Despite the fact that some enjoyable areas for cycling exist, the bike is a fairly poor means of transportation in Cité Universitaire since the bicycling network is not especially extensive, and bike riders encounter a considerable amount of elevation changes.
