In New York City, thousands depend on unofficial dollar vans for commuting, especially in areas poorly served by the MTA. These vans, operational for over fifty years, offer critical transportation across neighborhoods not accessible by subway. As urban transport needs evolve, issues like increased operating costs and lack of regulation jeopardize their future. Feet in 2 Worlds highlights personal accounts from riders and drivers navigating the precarious state of these services, emphasizing the necessity of these vans in a city known for its extensive, yet unevenly distributed, transit options.
