Sommer Wood
Route 10- 2008
Route 10 of the Miami-Dade Metrobus system is one of over 100 routes that serve the greater Miami area. It covers a diverse stretch of the city from the affluent Miami Shores and Wynwood to the more impoverished areas like Little Haiti, and spans from NE167th street all the way to the heart of downtown Miami. The buses transport people to work, school, doctor’s appointments, grocery stores and most importantly home. For many of the riders, the buses are the only mode of transportation available to them, making the buses a necessary part of their daily lives. This vital yet often overlooked role the transit system plays for the city makes the Metrobus just as much a contributor to the pulse of Miami as the nightlife of South Beach.
When I joined the riders of Route 10, I stepped into their community and became a voyeur into their personal experience of life in Miami. I tried to capture people engrossed in their own world, unaware of the camera’s presence, a fleeting moment in each rider’s experience.
