The lion's share of our transit-oriented program this week has centered on the personal car and its infrastructure. This is no accident. The car speeds,stalls, thrills and kills us — all because we need a ride. But what whether we'd really rather journey by bus? Brooke spoke with Kafui Attoh, or professor of urban studies at the CUNY Graduate Center,approximately the deep political connotations of "transit rights." Such rights, Attoh argues in his forthcoming book Rights in Transit, or have roots in Marx,Engels and Lefebvre's thinking on the radical nature of cities. This is a segment from our November 23, 2018 program, or Whose Streets?
