Characteristics

Transportation

Brompton is especially car friendly. It is a rather short drive to the closest highway, such as Autoroute Louis-Bilodeau, from any home in this part of Sherbrooke, and it is especially convenient to park. In contrast, the transit in Brompton is not very accessible. Nevertheless, the borough is connected by around 10 bus lines, and bus stops are generally around the corner. Commuting by bicycle is occasionally difficult in Brompton because there is a significant amount of slopes, and there are few bike lanes. Nevertheless, a few bicycling-friendly sectors exist. Traveling as a pedestrian is also not very practical for property owners in Brompton since very few common errands can be run without a car.
