Transportation and infrastructure in Hope — how do highways, public transit, and climate affect everyday life here?
I’ve been commuting between Hope and Chilliwack for a few months now, and honestly, the drive is beautiful but can get tricky in bad weather. Between fog, snow, and those tight turns on the highway, winter’s no joke. I’ve noticed that public transit options seem limited, so I’ve been wondering how locals manage if they don’t drive. Do people just carpool or rely on local taxis?

Yeah, driving around here is definitely part of the lifestyle. I’ve lived in Hope for a few years, and you get used to planning everything around the weather and road conditions. It helps that highways connect easily in every direction — but you still have to be cautious during storms. A lot of local businesses in Hope, BC even adjust their hours in the winter to match travel conditions, which says a lot about how the community adapts to the environment.
