Prompt 

As a studio, we will take a look at some of the most interesting transit systems around the world. Then, in groups, you will select a transit system to provide an in-depth analysis of your findings to the rest of the class. You may choose an example from the presentation above or find a different system that interests you.. 

What does it means for something to be "in transit"? Can it be more than simply getting from point A to point B in our day-to-day life?

Instructions

In teams, you will create a slideshow that contains the following information about your transit system:

  • Where is it located? Is this method used elsewhere in the world?
  • How does the transit system relate to the area and its unique setting/environment? (write 2-3 sentences)
  • What is awesome vs. awful about this transit system? 
  • What are potential ways that this transit system can be improved? (Be imaginative!)

Deliverables

Make a post in the Responses tab (above) with the following requirements:

  1. Images of the transit system you've researched (include captions describing the images)
  2. Answers to the 4 questions above in the text field

Each group will present their findings to the class. Please plan to have each group member participate in the presentation.
