How To Ride The Bus

€ 31.00

In case you don't usually take the bus around New York City, I highly recommend it - it's cheap and air-conditioned and you get to sit next to, and sometimes touch, people you don't know. There's plenty to see, inside and out: street action, fashion statements, and most of all, people...

How to Ride the Bus is both a guidebook for exploring New York and for disappearing into the crowd. The book consists of a collection of advice on making the most of public transportation, and also includes a series of photographs of bus drivers taking breaks at the end of their routes. In How to Ride the Bus, Jennifer Bornstein eschews the usual complaints of NYC bus travel – traffic, time, and efficiency – to offer her appreciation of its often overlooked benefits: the views of the city streets, the time spent with others on board, and just the joy alone of having plenty of time to waste.

Bornstein also provides an insider’s guide to the NYC bus system – marking the best and worst routes. Her varying parameters include anything from time and speed to the friendliness of drivers, whom Bornstein highlights again in a series of photographs taken while taking breaks at the end of their routes.
