Week 2: Ethnography Results

This week both myself and Angel rode different routes. I made observations on route 31, shown below:

Observations

• Most people avoid talking when on the way to class, although this can vary if they know other commuters.
• Commuters on the return trip from campus made much more use of their cell phones to have conversations and text.
• The majority of people on the bus had class materials with them.
• Very few people eat on my bus route.

I have yet to ride this route either very early or very late, so my observations are very narrow in scope currently. I hope to make more observations at different times, and to gather more quantitative data.
