Prompt: 

As a studio, we will take a look at some of the most interesting transit systems around the world. Then, in groups, you will select a transit system of your choosing to provide an in-depth analysis of your findings to the rest of the class. You may choose an example from the presentation above or select one of your choosing. 

What does it mean for something to be "in transit"? Can it be more than simply getting from point A to point B in our day-to-day life?

Instructions: 

In teams, you will create a slideshow that contains the following information about your transit system:

• Where is it located? Is this method used elsewhere in the world?
• How does the transit system relate to the area and its unique setting/environment? (write 2-3 sentences)
• What is awesome v. awful about this transit system? (come up with 3 for each)
• What are potential ways that this transit system can be improved? (Be imaginative!)

Deliverables:

Post a response in the Responses tab (above)with the following requirements:

1. Images of the transit system you've researched (include captions describing the images)
2. Answers to the 4 questions above in the text field
3. One sketch from each person in your group proposing ways this system could be improved.

Each group will present their findings to the class. Please plan to have each group member participate in the presentation.
