There is something deeply human about an unhoused person sleeping in a train car next to a wealthy businessperson in a suit. We have very few spaces in our world where folks from all walks of life are forced into close proximity like that. That alone is worth celebrating in our public transportation system, and it's something that I value when I ride the train! Nice piece as always, Kristen!
Thanks! This was probably my easiest piece to write of this series, because I have so many examples, but the core of my blog writing was my obsession with subways and trains and the sense of travel they brought coupled with being down to earth!
