Characteristics

Transportation

Driving is a great mode of transportation in Jonquière. The majority of properties for sale are a short car ride from the closest highway, such as Autoroute 70, and parking is easy. However, residents using public transit may have limited options in Jonquière due to the service's low frequency. Thankfully, there are approximately 20 bus lines traversing the borough, and bus stops are not very far-removed from most homes. Cycling is at times difficult in this area as there are a good number of slopes, and the bicycling network is not particularly comprehensive. Jonquière is also not especially suitable for pedestrians because few daily errands can be run without needing to get in a car.
