Hi Benjie,

This is really an exciting topic for me as a Placemaker and public realm enthusiast. Having lived in India and in New York and having visited Cuba for a Travel Fellowship at Pratt Institute, I 100% agree with you about informal transit being a life blood gloabally. I was surprised to know that even in New York City, there exists this alternative informal travel option, called Dollar Vans that operate out of the Flatbush area. Apparently, the Carribbean population living in that neighborhood, brought this transit option to Flatbush, a popular way of commuting in their hometowns. They are a really interesting case and often come out of the immigrant communities resourcefulness or in many cases the incaccessibility or lack of connectivity of existing modes of transit. I really look forward to the upcoming articles! Happy to help in any way I can!
