         Transit is the business of moving as many people as possible. It is for people, to people, by people. Too often, smart discussions about public transit focus on efficiency, money, and policy. I wanted to look closer at the people—within institutions or outside groups—who make decisions that have either saved or destroyed future growth in this space.

         Because it’s so people-focused, I have people-focused biases. I am against privatization and tone-deaf agencies, and for unions and decision makers who care. Working within self-imposed constraints, I’m able to dig deeper and even challenge my preconceptions.

          How did you become interested in public transit and urban design?
         </strong>
        </h3>
        <p style="color: #1a1a1a; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin: 0 0 1em 0;">
         I was born in Seoul and raised in Los Angeles, and I relied on public transit in both places. When I moved to the Bay Area for college, I continued using public transit and never owned a car. This lifelong experience of being wholly reliant on U.S. public transit—for good and for bad—led to my current job working for the Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART).
        </p>
        <p style="color: #1a1a1a; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin: 0 0 1em 0;">
         After a few years working in public transit, I noticed repeated questions from transit enthusiasts and the general public on why things are the way they are in America and why can’t we just be like, say, Japan. I was curious too, and I found the most common answers unsatisfying. As a former Silicon Valley newspaper reporter, I thought I may have the chops, too, to write after work.

          , I would amateurishly research and translate them piecemeal. It was very laborious but also fun and addictive. Too many Americans make Japan out as this train nirvana, and my reflex is to break down the mindless adulation and present new ideas.

          The United States unconditionally surrendered all forms of rail—once the envy of the world—to cars in the 1950s. Many peer countries have demonstrated continuous investments in rail, and its growth is paramount to national infrastructural success. Melbourne

          What’s your favorite public transit system?
         </strong>
        </h3>
        <p style="color: #1a1a1a; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin: 0 0 1em 0;">
         I love the public transit system in Medellín, Colombia. It’s clean, frequent, and well-used despite its system only being 30-odd years old. It is the best case of what happens when a public transit system is built with people in mind and as a civic symbol to help move the city beyond its very violent past in the 1980s and 1990s.
        </p>
        <p style="color: #1a1a1a; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin: 0 0 1em 0;">
         Despite writing so much about Japan and Korea, I think the true interesting action in transit is happening in countries like India and Vietnam, as two main examples. Latin America and India are my white whales for future S(ubstack)-Bahn content. (And I’m seeking collaborators!)
