The Nobody Drives in LA crew join Burbank City Council candidate Eddy Polon at the Burbank Public Library. Polon is a Burbank Transportation Commissioner, the President of Strong Towns Burbank, and co-owned Valley Village‘s Continental Kosher Bakery. After he was doored and seriously injured on Burbank Boulevard, he decided to dedicate himself to making Burbank’s streets safer. Polon also has a deep knowledge of Burbank history and urbanism — so who better to discuss the current legal battle between Metro and Burbank over that former’s BRT line, which will connect the San Fernando and San Gabriel valleys via BRT.

Most of the time, the car-free commutes of Angelenos are without serious issues. We (safely) reply to emails, read, enjoy a cinematic view of the city, and spare not a thought for parking or measuring how long our commutes took. In the spirit of honesty, we also endeavor not to sugarcoat the experience—which we constantly advocate for improving.

In this transit therapy session, Kyle, Ivy, and Eric gather at the Koreatown Media Lab for a lighthearted, fun "gripe session" based on some recent, extraordinary hiccups in our car-free and car-lite lives. Improving mass and active transit means being honest, rolling with the punches, and occasionally letting off steam. Tune in as we air out our recent transit grievances, laugh at bumps in the road, and discuss what it really takes to make getting around Los Angeles better for everyone.
