A friend once told me, in her ideal dream, she does
not own a car. She doesn’t have to drive far to see
loved ones or grab a bite. We both shared mutual dreams
and encouraged each other to pursue them and imagine
further no matter how unreal that may seem currently.
That to me is one aspect of what it takes to radically
imagine transportation systems. Sitting with a friend
or two and wishfully dreaming or chismiando together
about how different our worlds can be and
supporting each other to make it possible.
This illustration is inspired by women of color
in Los Angeles who’s main mode of transportation
is the bus.
