There was a time when everyone walked or biked from point to point in Provincetown . Before that, there was a time when people took a row boat to get from one part of town to another.
Many people still walk or ride a bike everywhere in town.
A vehicle is handy, but not needed to get around town. A common sight used to be hitch hikers on Route 6 just around the bend from Conwell Street. These days however there are more people and the business district has grown and more and more people use a vehicle to do everyday errands around town. Some people who prefer to use a vehicle are senior citizens. Parking being what it is here, it's more efficient and more economical to take a taxi in both directions than it is to drive and park in town.
