Though X City may not be as well-known for public transportation as some other cities in the country, it does offer buses, the light rail, the subway and taxis to make life without a vehicle possible.

　 If you’re a college student, there’s an additional resource available -- the X City’s Network. Started in 1999, the Network is essentially funded by the schools, but about 17 percent comes through fundraising. Around 70,000 riders a year use the Network, which runs for the duration of the academic year. Stops are at the various campuses as well as the Town Center, the Inner Harbor, the railway station and the City Square.

Students from seven schools like and use the network. Not only is it free and they know exactly what to expect, but also it's a safe ride.

If you’ve got a bicycle and are in the mood for some exercise, you can take advantage of several bicycle paths throughout the city. The two main paths are the G Falls path and the J Falls path. The G Falls path starts at Lily Park. The J Falls path runs from Daffodil Park to the railway station, passing by several historic attractions.

If you don’t have the patience to wait for the buses or the light rail, or don’t want to have to make several transfers, then you might want to take a taxi. Cabs run up and down the main streets and can be easily found at the Inner Harbor or other such centers of activity. If you’re a little bit out of the way, though, you will probably have to call one of the several cab companies and have them send a cab to your location.

Staying in town, neighborhoods all have multiple transportation services if you don’t have a car. You can make various choices to do shopping, to the movies, to baseball games, to museums, to the malls and even to work. So, even if you don’t have a car here, that shouldn’t prevent you from moving easily.
