Featured review
It's not a huge budget movie, and that often bugs me - but the story is based on real events and I cared about the characters.
I'm very surprised that the current rating for this movie is only 4.9. I wrote this review because I think the movie is definitely worth more than that. I think this movie is worth your time.
I suspect that some of the low ratings come from those who don't like the grassroots politics ideas behind the movie, and the idea that even the poor deserve decent transit.
All this being said, I'm not sure I like elevated transit systems, although using electricity is preferable to diesel buses.
