"Commuting is a significant segment of everyday life and as city populations and boundaries
expand, so do commutes. Transit Life is the first book to explore how commuting is
transforming life in the twenty-first century city. Through rich and evocative accounts
of commuting experiences, the book shows how everyday journeys through cities are
changing the way that people negotiate their work-life balance; they are putting all
manner of physical and emotional demands on the people involved; they are changing
the nature of people's relationships; and they are creating new forms of enablement
and constraint. Contrasting with more conventional quantitative approaches, Transit
Life introduces a novel set of methods and ideas that can help us to understanding
how commuting is generating new and unexpected forms of social change through the
way that people socialize; the way that people work; the way that people use their
leisure time; and the way that people inhabit the city."--Provided by publisher
