A huge, huge thanks to Erica C. Barnett for her graciousness and inclusion of all sides of this thorny issue in detail. I feel excited and honoured to be interviewed along side my wonderful bus driver buds, Sam, Audrey and Jeremy; Erica is also a friend of mine from our shared interests in transit and urbanism in Seattle; if you don’t already know it, check out her blog here.
Doing press like this isn’t always a collaboration between friends, but that’s exactly what this one felt like. Please enjoy!
