Source Description
Over a time period spanning centuries, Boston has built a transit system which hundreds of thousands of people use each day. Yet inequalities persist in the geography of who has access to a reliable, affordable, and well-connected transportation network. Historic patterns of investment and disinvestment in communities and transit infrastructure suggest how getting around town means many different things depending on where you live.
