Transportation

Ho-Ho-Kus is a fairly pleasant area for pedestrians; many daily needs are easy to meet without needing to get in a car, and plenty of businesses are moderately close at hand. However, it is at times difficult to travel by bicycle in this area because the cycling network is not very comprehensive, and bike riders encounter quite a few slopes. Ho-Ho-Kus is especially car friendly. It is very easy to find a place to park, and the majority of real estate listings are a very short car ride from the nearest highway. In contrast, public transit users may have limited choices in Ho-Ho-Kus due to the service's low frequency. Nonetheless, the nearest train station, such as the Hohokus and Waldwick with access to the Main/Bergen County Line and Port Jervis Line, is commonly within a short distance from the bulk of properties in the borough. The borough is linked by a few bus lines.
