There is those tricky little speed cameras also in this community. Watch out for the recreational vehicle pulled to the side of the road with a camera pointed at a speeder, ready to send a ticket in the mail. ${BestWay} TransFort, the bus system, can get you anywhere inside of Fort Collins. They run every thrity minutes from each stop. However, most of the lines stop after 7 PM so if you are out for the night, you could get stranded. Some lines do run late in the night though, so check that the line you are using does so. Taxis are also available if you call. Walking is nice, as there are plenty of sidewalks. Bike riding is also an excellent way to get around. There is always a bike lane and Fort Collins offers miles of good cemented bike trails throughout the city. They are scenic and cut across traffic. However, a car is the best option to get out of the city and to the outdoors.
