This week, we’re hopping aboard buses, trams, and trains for a celebration of the humble world of public transport. From the joy of an unexpected chat with a stranger to the drama of nearly missing your stop — it’s time to give the daily commute the appreciation it rarely gets.

There’s also your weekly dose of feel-good news, a brand new Seagull of the Week (hint: bring headphones), and a heartfelt little poem to round things off.

Breathe in, mind the gap, and enjoy the ride.
