That's what a full bus looks like without the bus. Finally, they returned to Marion Street to pose walking and riding bicycles. Not at all. It could easily accommodate many, many more. The vitality of a city comes from its pedestrians, not its cars.
Cars consume enormous amounts of space and radically change the landscape.
The highways and high-speed feeder streets become unpleasant places to live because of the noise, dirt and danger that increase along with the traffic. The idea for the series of photographs came from Ed Crawford, director of the Tampa-based Alliance for Modern Transit and Livable Communities. Crawford showed me pictures from a similar series that someone made years ago in a European city. When he put the word out that we needed volunteers, he had no trouble rounding up more than 50 people from his own organization, Tampa Bay Freewheelers, HARTline and Bay Area Commuter Services. The people arguing loudest against a better transit system complain that Tampa is already overcrowded and should spread its growth farther afield.
