Do you love public transit and science fiction? Of course you do! Now you can have them at the same time! Next Tues 9/16 at 6pm, an astonishing panel of activists and creators are coming together to talk about the future of transit. Seriously do not miss this one-of-a-kind event. We are also going to try to livestream it, but that isn't certain yet. I will keep you posted! #sfba #scifi https://luma.com/0olo6szj
