Zen in the Art of Travel Behavior:
Using Visual Ethnography to Understand the Transit Experience

I'm interested in how the structure/physical space shapes people's interactions. Even though this wasn't a very busy station, two people bumped into me (hard and kind of aggressively) while i was waiting for the bus.

Last one off the bus.

Signage and the UCLA crew listening to an orange-vested Orange line MTA official.

The Orange Line route seems a bit Disneyland-esqe here, just because everything is new and clean and well-organized. Mind you I'm not on the Packed-out bus yet...

Inside looking out.

At the following stop, inside the bus looking out.

I think it's interesting when people (especially people who are traveling alone) sleep on public transport. It seems so trusting.

The bus was standing room only.

People navigating the space allotted. Two men between a fence and a roadway.

Two sets of eyes watching the face I can't see.
