Transport & Vehicles in Piccadilly

How households get around — the vehicles they keep and the journey to work.

Almost every home in Piccadilly relies on a car, as only 2.2% of households have no motor vehicle. This is well below the national figure, reflecting a lifestyle where private transport is essential for daily life. While the area has a high number of bus stops, the long travel time to the city makes driving the primary choice.
