It’s easy to complain about public transit, but for so many populations, including low-income people, older adults, and people with disabilities, it’s the only option available.
Today’s episode is about public transit focusing on two systems: MARTA (Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority) and the MTA (Metropolitan Transportation Authority) in New York City.
Maria Sotnikova and Alejandra Ospina are my guests and they share their experiences using different forms of transit from these two systems. They’ll also talk about larger systemic issues about accessibility and infrastructure in these two metropolitan areas.
