The easy way to get about town (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bypass

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This could be a double definition.

'the easy way' is the first definition.
'bypass' can be an answer for 'way' (bypass is a kind of way). I am unsure of the 'the easy' bit.

'get about town' is the second definition.
'bypass' can be an answer for 'get' (thesaurus). I am unsure of the 'about town' bit.

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bypass that I've seen before include "ring-road, maybe" , "not found in the high street" , "Road built to avoid another" , "Round-about way" , "heart operation" .)
