THE PERSON BEHIND THE TIMETABLE
About Ines.
Former planner. Current rider. Still looking out the window.
Writer & former transit planner
Good transit is never an accident.
I spent eleven years as a transit planner, redrawing bus maps and defending stop removals at community meetings. I started The Slow Commute in 2022 to explain the decisions behind the schedule. I still ride the 7:42.
Every week, I write about the systems that shape our days: the routes we inherit, the connections we miss, and the small design choices that can make a city feel closer.
