Riding Through Gentrification: the 57 Bus, Oakland, and its Community

This story is about one bus that passes straight down Oakland: The 57. A slow, hot, crowded, and a never-new, sometimes busted bus. All kinds of people step on that bus from all different parts of Oakland—all different races and all different ages. I’ve seen the city change on the bus, and off it. Historic buildings have shifted into epicenters for mass corporations such as Uber and Pandora, bringing in another large boom of techies. But the migration to Oakland isn’t necessarily to all of Oakland. There are certain neighborhoods that boast more gentrification than others. The 57 has held its fair share of tension between these neighborhoods and I wanted to know if other people on my bus felt this tension. This story is the story of the bus, of Oakland, and of its community. -Chloe Xtina
