Nathan Interviewed by TransitCenter

The pandemic interviews continue!

​The wonderful Kapish Singla interviews Nathan for TransitCenter's High Frequency podcast. We explore sanitation measures, reduced bathroom access, rates of change within bureaucratic systems, and much more.

Listen to or read Kapish's Ep 6: Nathan Vass - Operating a Bus During a Pandemic here! (The audio is better than the transcript; like all transcription software, the translation of both of our words isn't perfect.)

Thanks for taking a listen, Thomas! It's great to be able to go in depth on these things. Yes, the blog is about to ramp up in a big way before ending– I've got nearly 20 stories in the pipeline for the next few weeks!
