Blurry observations
Even the blurry photos seemed to convey stories: the view out the bus window on a rainy day sets a dreamy tone; a lone, faceless rider waits at the transit center with the rest of the masses; disembarking takes only a few seconds before the driver has the bus back on the road without you; riders sit equidistant from each as if filling in piees of a pattern or puzzle.
