I imagine living in Lansdale without a car will be difficult. There's a trainstation that'll take you to Philly but not much else.

Good point. OP will need a car to go food shopping & run errands.

Lansdale is very walkable and bikeable! There are a bunch of amenities in the borough that make going without a car doable.

I mean Lidl's on Main Street and just a 20 minute walk from the train station (just to use that as a marker of centrality here). It's all definitely doable depending on where OP works, if not everyone's ideal.

Lol I lived in harleysville so there was literally no busses out there. I always assumed the Lansdale busses were good.

I lived in Philly and then in bucks county for a few years. You COULD take the bus to get around, but trying to accomplish anything in a reasonable amount of time with ease would be impossible. The city is one thing, but not the burbs.

I mean I lived in Philly briefly and know how it is down there but grew up in harleysville and never had access to the busses and montco most people have cars anyways so again I figured septa was septa but I hear you. I'm up in NEPA now and I understand what you mean about getting anything done in a reasonable amount of time these busses out here you're lucky if they run hourly.

I'm on the Carbon-Monroe line and in this part of NEPA there's not even that much.

Fuck hville lol. Spent almost 30 years there. It's great as a kid, but once you get passed 13 there's not much to do.
