Constant Rider Omnibus: Stories From the Public Transportation Front

Comments for Constant Rider Omnibus: Stories From the Public Transportation Front

Informative, engaging, funny, and entertaining. . . This is highly recommended if you are a regular rider, or have never sat next to a stranger en route in your life. Profane Existence
an entertaining read organized into bite sized pieces that can be had on short bus trips or longer more grueling journeys. This zine is filled with great slice of life stories that at times remind you of the charm of public transit and at other times makes you feel like you're not alone on those days when you want to just scream. Planet Books
At her best, Lopresti does an excellent job pacing her stories, revealing just enough to keep the reader wanting more. Many of her narratives end with a clever “pow,” some witty remark that completes the piece and leaves a feeling of satisfaction. Feminist Review
Advice distilled from over a decade of experiencing all the modes of public transportation the Western World has to offer. This includes not only crowded metropolitan buses, but also crowded inter-city buses, crowded trains, and the staid and stalwart crowded jet airliner. It would be irresponsible of this review to leave you with the impression that Kate focuses overly much on the less comfortable aspects of riding the common vehicles. In reality, she spends much more ink celebrating all the ways a public transport rider can enrich their lives, or at least entertain themselves, when their attention is not otherwise consumed by the stressful, behind-the-wheel responsibilities of drivers. Bookmans
As a person that uses public transportation quite frequently, I was immediately sucked into Kate’s prose, recognizing the world she was describing immediately. But even if I hadn’t, she has the skill to describe the people, places, and scents with such detail that anyone reading the book will have no issues in visualizing what she’s talking about. Marc Mason, Comics Waiting Room
Kate’s writing totally impressed me, and kept my interest from cover to cover. And, in case you were wondering, this issue will tell you just exactly what happens when you collapse on a Tri-Met train in Portland! Very highly recommended. New Pages
This must be the most hilarious mass-transit zine there is! Donny Smith, Xerography Debt
