On Transit

About:  My name is Alia Salim. I live in the San Francisco Bay Area and spend a lot of time on public transit—usually BART, but sometimes buses or Caltrain. It can get old, but there's always something new: I listen in, look over shoulders, and deposit stories here.

I avoid identifying individuals, either in words or pictures—but at the end of the day, public transit is ... well, public. I'm happy to chat about the ethics of eavesdropping (or anything else); you can reach me at ealiasalim(at)gmail(dot)com.

Credit is given where credit is due; all other words and pictures are my own. Let me know if you see something you like.

My favorite part of my return commute is the moment we emerge from the transbay tube into the Legoland of the port. The city’s outlined in sunset haze on the horizon; the cranes say, “Welcome home.” I have the impression that they’ll cover my retreat.

Anyway: After the long-ass ad, this is an alternate perspective on (from!) the most familiar of Oakland icons. His window is on the floor.
