Every day, thousands of people travel through New Westminster by SkyTrain, bus, bike, car, and on foot. But transportation in New West is about more than simply getting from one place to another—it's about connection.

From the five Expo Line SkyTrain stations and local bus routes to the Central Valley Greenway, walkable neighbourhoods, and major bridge connections, discover why New Westminster remains one of Metro Vancouver's most connected communities.

Along the way, Carla reflects on the daily routines that bring residents together—morning commutes, evening walks, waterfront strolls, and the countless small journeys that make up life in the city.
