Transit Patterns in Art

How are people getting to work? The link below leads to an artistic way to show how people commute to their jobs. It is the the product of artist Martha Kang McGill and is based on the 2008 U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey.

Of the eight metropolitan areas in the United States that are included, Washington D.C. has the most proportion outcome among those who drive or use public transportation. Houston has the largest ratio of drivers while New York City has the most public commuters.

The other metro areas shown are Chicago, Los Angeles, Atlanta, San Francisco, and Seattle. Orange represents drivers, red stands for those who carpool, purple are those who use public transportation, blue indicates those who walk, and all others (those who bike, work at home, etc.) are shown in salmon.
