Johanna Brewer, an Informatics Ph.D Candidate at UC Irvine, graciously allowed me to re-post her ethnography of the OCTA bus system here. She writes: "Alternative Mobilities [Who Rides the Bus and Why Do We Care?] is an ethnographic study of the Orange County public transportation system which I undertook with my colleague David Nguyen. In our study we were struck by the overwhelming diversity of the ways in which people ride the bus - and this in turn leads to a re-thinking of what "design for mobility" might be. We are working on a long paper about the study but you can get more information by reading this position paper."
