Getting around
The car is very often the preferred approach to navigate Bowmanville. Most real estate listings are a reasonably short car ride from the closest highway, such as Highway 401, and it is easy to park. On the other hand, travelling by transit can be difficult in Bowmanville due to the service's low frequency. Nevertheless, house owners have access to a few bus lines, and it is very easy to find a nearby bus stop from most homes. Bowmanville is not particularly bicycling-friendly because there are a fair number of slopes, and the cycling network is not very comprehensive. This part of Clarington is also not especially conducive to pedestrians because few common errands can be run without a car.
