Routes of Infection / Routes to Safety

The Routes to Safety team are pleased to share a series of short films that they’ve been working on, in collaboration with film maker Joseph Turp and in dialogue with project partners including bus operators, community groups and user organisations. The films have developed out of ethnography and interviews undertaken earlier in 2021, and seek to illustrate some of the things that people said make them feel more or less safe on the bus. The films will soon be made available to bus operators, community groups and others, for wider dissemination to engage customers and other publics interested in making spaces like public transport safer and more accessible. This has relevance not only in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, but in reducing the spread of seasonal colds, flus and other infections.
