Inside world: on bus dog at my knee

on bus dog at my knee
waiting for sweet voice
to tell when we arrive


“Transportation” is about physical connection: places and distance, roads and bridges, concrete and steel, speed and space, money and tools, flattening and building, expertise and power, and vehicles in the eyes of the planners that for the most part might as well be empty.

“Mobility” by contrast is about another kind of connection. People. The inside world of transportation. Each time an entirely personal experience. Each person, each time, very different.

If, for example, your eyes do not work well or even at all, how sweet it is on the bus to hear that voice telling you when you are about to arrive at your station.
