"[Nordahl's] potent new e-book, Making Transit Fun!, has all the enthusiasm for buses, trains, and bike lanes that its title's exclamation point implies. Can transit incorporate art? Yes! How about playground equipment? You bet. Even … sex? Oh yeah, baby."
Grist
"In a new e-book from Island Press called Making Transit Fun!: How to Entice Motorists from Their Cars (and onto Their Feet, a Bike, or Bus), urban designer and writer Darrin Nordahl writes that advocates for non-car transportation need to stop trying to appeal to reason and go for the gut instead…Nordahl's book is a reminder that transit has only lost when it aims low. We should always be looking for joy, even on the bus."
Atlantic Cities
"It's a quick two-hour read full of well-researched examples and compelling arguments on the power of fun to affect our transportation experience."
Next American City
"This book is very well written with plenty of examples (mostly from North America and Europe) and photos showing what he's talking about. It's divided into seven chapters with bouncy titles such as Seductive Transit, the Joy of Cycling, and Walker's Paradise."
Carbusters
"...worth checking out in its entirety."
