Book review forum: Transit Life: How Commuting is Transforming Our Cities.

In this introduction, I set out some of the key themes and approaches David Bissell takes to I Transit Life i , before making way for reflective contributions and provocations from Clare Holdsworth, Hayden Lorimer, Peter Merriman, Elaine Stratford and Tim Schwanen, and a response by David. I Transit Life i can be read as an empirical book as it is based on Bissell's own detailed research into the drudgery, intricacies, challenges, despair, humour, resistance and occasional joy of Sydney commuters. 16 See, for instance, D.Bissell, "Animating Suspension: Waiting for Mobilities", I Mobilities i , 2(2), 2007, pp. 277-98; Bissell, 'Passenger Mobilities, pp. 270-89; D.Bissell, "Vibrating Materialities: Mobility-Body-Technology Relations", I Area i , 42(4), 2010, pp. 479-86. 24 Bissell "Encountering Stressed Bodies", pp. 191-201; Bissell "Transforming Commuting Mobilities", pp. 1946-65; Bissell "Micropolitics of Mobility", pp. 394-403; D.Bissell, 'How Environments Speak: Everyday Mobilities, Impersonal Speech and the Geographies of Commentary', I Social & Cultural Geography i , 16(2), 2015, pp. 146-64.
