Transport & Vehicles in Chisholm
How households get around — the vehicles they keep and the journey to work.
More than half of all homes in Chisholm have two motor vehicles, making cars the dominant way to get around. This reliance on driving is clear as no one in the area uses public transport to commute to work. While the area has a fair number of bus stops, most residents prefer the convenience of their own cars or working from home.
Vehicles

Cars are very common here, with 59.3% of homes owning two vehicles and 17.1% owning three. Only 0.7% of households have no motor vehicle, which is well below the New South Wales figure of 9.2%.
