Transit here means buses, full stop — you're on the Q23 along 80th Street and the Q11 down Woodhaven Boulevard, with stops like 80th & Metropolitan and Woodhaven & Yellowstone pulling up every few blocks. There's no subway nearby, so the commute into Manhattan is a bus-to-train hop that adds time compared to neighborhoods with direct rail access.
