There are wonderful continuous and sometimes shady shared paths. These are an important shared community space, used by people on foot, non-motorised scooters or bicycles, people in wheelchairs and mothers with prams. See Leichhardt Council Bike Plan 2010

You can follow the foreshore to pyrmont, see Annandale to Sydney Walk.

The suburb is serviced by frequent Bus from the Sydney CBD, Haymarket, Coogee and Balmain as well as the services as well as the light rail from Central Station.

The Light Rail also skirts Annandale on the Harbour Side.

Scooters are becoming an increasingly familiar site.

Sadly, a large number of locals miss out (on the pretty environment, involvement in the community and health benefits) by choosing to sit in their cars and slowing the buses. A large number of vehicles pass through Annandale every day - sitting with other in the traffic on Johnston St, Collins, Booth, Paramatta and the Crescent.

See: NSW's big cities, especially Sydney, are poisoning the environment and making us all sicker and more stressed. The longer we continue with the state's "transport model" - where cars carry 78% of people to work and trucks 60% of goods - the worse things will get.
