The air is clean (because the buses are electric), and the living is easy. This is the future the Numtots want. […] “Yeah sex is cool, but have you ever fantasised about an infrastructure renewal program funded by the taxes of billionaires?” is a representative Numtot fantasy.
I became a NUMTOT (pressed “join” on a Facebook group) around the time I first watched The Michigan Transportation Musical at orientation. […] Both NUMTOT and the Michigan Transportation musical build an online cult around the otherwise lame topic of transit.
