Great issue. I rode in a lot of bemos when I lived in Bali for a college semester. Growing up riding the T in Boston didn’t prepare me for the intimacy and improvisation of bemo transit. Boston drivers get a deservedly bad rap, but bemo drivers in Bali were on another level, at least back in the ‘90s.

Thanks, Michael. Public transit = public space and in small vehicles, = very social space.
