SF Transit Riders Movie Night

SF Transit Riders‘ final event of Membership Month 2024 will be a screening of the documentary “Taken for a Ride,” and other transit-focused videos. After the movie, there will be a discussion about the film and transit history.

About the film Taken for a Ride (1996) and other public-transit shorts:

Before freeways, traffic congestion and air pollution, public transportation was a vital part of the American landscape. Jim Klein and Martha Olson weave investigative journalism, urban history and social commentary to uncover General Motors’ role in dismantling street car transportation in the 1930’s, and in catapulting the automobile to the center of our national culture.
