It is important for people to get to places such as school, work or the grocery store. In Granada, many of the streets are very narrow because they were first paved over 500 years ago when the main mode of transportation (beyond walking) was by horse. In 2018, going somewhere in a car is much quicker than taking the same route on horseback but in Granada, cars have trouble driving through the residential parts of the city because of how narrow the old streets are. Due to this fact, most people go about their day on foot, and only take the bus when the place they need to get to is too far for walking. Another popular mode of transportation for people is the moped because these two wheeled, motorized bikes can usually get somewhere in the city quicker than a car because the mopeds can take shortcuts through narrow alleways.
The most commonly used method of transportation in Granada is feet! Although it is far older and smaller, Granada is similar to New York in the sense that it is a condensed city where the easiest way for most people to go somewhere is on foot. If you need to go somewhere that is more than an hour away on foot then taking the city bus is the next best option because it is cheap and convenient. For people who frequently have to travel long distances, such as those who commute to work across the city, mopeds are the most common form of transport.
