Everything is so easy to get to. It's something everyone notices. Our grid system makes travelling by car or bus so easy and quick. Or if you're under your own steam, you can whizz around on Redways that criss-cross the city with more than 270 kilometres of safe routes for cyclists and pedestrians.
