Hey everybody, I'm trying to get off the ground a little multidisciplinary venture known as
the only web litmag dedicated to providing glimpses of public transit (if you can prove me wrong, please do).
We just released our first issue, so please check out the site. We've got some talented folks writing, and we're hoping to grow.
Someone really transity once told me that the problem with metro Detroiters and transit is that we can't picture what real, quality transit looks like. We use transit when we go on vacations to Chicago. We don't have the frame of reference for daily, efficient commuter travel. And so what we can't imagine, we can't reach.
Travel with Strangers exists in part to address this issue. To bring transit to the forefront of our narratives. To show that in some places and for some people, it's a thing. And to present the awkwardness/beauty that comes from traveling with strangers instead of with yourself in a bubble.
Please do give it a read! And if you're a transit and/or writer type person, check out the submissions page.
Happy travels!
