Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
As Metro has struggled with a loss of rail riders due to Safetrack maintenance surges, some riders have opted for the bus, and have been surprised to find them to be generally efficient, reliable and pleasant. While some people only avoid buses because they find their schedules and routes confusing, others have more ingrained negative perceptions of buses. To some, they are not just slow, but dirty and “sketchy.” Kojo explores the subtle stigma of buses, including the racial and economic data behind what forms of public transit people choose.
