It has been argued that the production of transport knowledges has been prone to urban domination and that mainly top-down and technocratic lenses are used. Echoing calls for an epistemological shift to include ‘other ways of knowing’, this article proposes Participatory Action Research Filmmaking as a way to ‘change the lenses’ and amplify narratives of mobility from liminal perspectives. The case used is a film contest in Ambato, Ecuador, entitled: ‘Between the Countryside and the City: stories of rural women’s transport’ that encouraged the participation of women and inhabitants of rural areas, who were assisted in creating a short documentary about their views on, and experiences with, transport. Results show bodies whose mobility is hindered by the burdens they carry but also empowered bodies that have a deep connection with the earth. Questions that arose relate to the extent women have agency in their mobility, to meanings attributed to mobility, and the limited relevance of transport mode when compared to the need to be transported ‘with dignity and autonomy’.

有人认为，交通知识的生产一直倾向于城市控制，主要是自上而下和技术官僚的镜头被使用。这篇文章呼应了认识论转向包括“其他认识方式”的呼吁，提出了参与式行动研究电影制作作为一种“改变镜头”的方式，并从有限的角度放大流动性的叙述。这个案例是厄瓜多尔安巴托的一个电影竞赛，题目是：“在农村和城市之间：农村妇女的交通故事”，鼓励农村地区的妇女和居民参与，协助她们制作一部关于她们对交通的看法和经验的短片纪录片。研究结果显示，这些身体的行动受到了负重的阻碍，但也有一些身体与地球有着深刻的联系。出现的问题涉及到女性在移动中的能动性程度，归因于移动的意义，以及与“有尊严和自主”的运输需求相比，运输方式的有限相关性。

Using data from interviews with 30 car-free parents in Sydney, Australia, this paper details the way parents confront social norms by raising children without private car ownership. Social practice theory is applied to fuse the influence of transport material structures with cultural expectations and emotions in a detailed examination of how parents live without cars. The paper exposes the way cultural scripts of good parenting are re-written by car-free parents, who have developed skills to take advantage of mixed-use and transit rich urban form, yet also accept having access to less. In doing so, a series of emotions are stirred, which parents absorb, as they forge an alternative transport lifestyle through a notoriously car dependent life-stage in a car-dependent city. This story sheds light on the barriers and enablers to less car-dependent parenting in the hope of informing realistic understandings of the influence of material transport structures on sustainable transport transitions. While alternative transport infrastructure is necessary for car-free living, a series of cultural and psycho-social elements must also be factored into our aspirations for less car dependent cities.

本文利用对澳大利亚悉尼30位无车父母的采访数据，详细介绍了父母在抚养孩子时没有私家车的情况下如何面对社会规范。运用社会实践理论，将交通物质结构的影响与文化期望和情感融合在一起，详细考察了父母在没有汽车的情况下如何生活。这篇论文揭示了没有车的父母如何改写了良好教养的文化剧本，他们已经掌握了利用混合用途和交通丰富的城市形式的技能，但也接受了获得更少的资源。在这样做的过程中，一系列的情感被激起，父母们吸收了，因为他们在一个臭名昭著的依赖汽车的城市的生活阶段打造了一种替代的交通生活方式。这个故事揭示了减少对汽车依赖的父母的障碍和推动因素，希望对物质运输结构对可持续交通转型的影响提供现实的理解。虽然替代交通基础设施对于无车生活是必要的，但我们对减少对汽车依赖的城市的期望也必须考虑到一系列文化和心理社会因素。

The multi-sensorial and embodied experiences of ‘being transported’ as passengers are an important, but at times underemphasized, theme in transport policy and planning. Asking the key question ‘how does it feel?’ seems straight forward and yet still hard to accommodate in the realm of planning and transport policies. However, if the ‘way that we feel’ is what attunes us to be attracted (or the opposite) to different modes of transport, then the affective, embodied, and sensorial qualities of buses, subways, airplanes, and ferries is more than an issue of ‘comfort’ and competitive advantage (even though this is a central concern for public transport agencies in the post-covid 19 context). Rather, we should understand how the enrolment of human bodies into infrastructural systems and mobility technologies shape our experiences in the everyday life. This paper hones in on a few theoretical concepts developed under the umbrella of ‘mobilities design’. Seen as a field of ‘material pragmatism’ it presents concepts such as ‘material interpellation’, ‘mobility affordance’, ‘extended bodies’, and ‘osmosis’ as part of a vocabulary enabling a more granular understanding of how we experience the world as passengers.

作为乘客的“被运输”的多感官和具体体验是交通政策和规划中的一个重要主题，但有时被忽视。问一个关键问题“感觉如何？”似乎很直接，但在规划和交通政策方面仍然难以适应。然而，如果“我们感觉的方式”是使我们被不同的交通方式吸引（或相反）的原因，那么公共汽车、地铁、飞机和渡轮的情感、具体和感官品质就不仅仅是“舒适”和竞争优势的问题（尽管这是后covid - 19背景下公共交通机构关注的核心问题）。相反，我们应该理解，将人体纳入基础设施系统和移动技术是如何塑造我们日常生活中的体验的。本文着眼于在“机动性设计”的框架下发展起来的几个理论概念。作为“物质实用主义”的一个领域，它提出了诸如“物质提问”、“移动性提供”、“扩展身体”和“渗透”等概念，作为词汇的一部分，使我们能够更细致地了解我们作为乘客如何体验世界。

The Öresund Bridge between Sweden and Denmark was opened in 2000, allowing both road traffic and fast commuter trains to travel between Malmö and Copenhagen. Various agreements have long facilitated passport-free travel. However, at the end of 2015, temporary border controls were first introduced. This paper aims to provide a deeper understanding of portrayals in the news media and everyday mobility experiences relating to border controls, with a special focus on Hyllie Station in the city of Malmö, in southern Sweden. The article is based on a compilation of the way Hyllie Station has been depicted in the news media for a deeper contextual understanding combined with a public participation GIS dataset focusing on the safety and security experiences of public transport nodes. Hyllie station, border controls and the presence of security personnel are depicted in different ways and at different levels. The complexities of life are intensified due to the daily cross-border commute and extra time required by border controls. The issue of mobility justice is raised, and the interrelationship between power and mobility becomes more and more tangible. Hyllie is a traffic node wherein the barriers of mobility and immobility become blurred, and power is displayed on different levels.

瑞典和丹麦之间的Öresund大桥于2000年开通，允许Malmö和哥本哈根之间的公路交通和快速通勤列车通行。长期以来，各种协议为免护照旅行提供了便利。然而，在2015年底，首次引入了临时边境管制。本文旨在更深入地了解与边境管制有关的新闻媒体和日常流动经验中的描绘，特别关注瑞典南部Malmö市的Hyllie站。这篇文章是基于新闻媒体对Hyllie车站的描述方式的汇编，以加深对背景的理解，并结合公众参与的GIS数据集，重点关注公共交通节点的安全和安保经验。Hyllie车站、边境管制和安全人员的存在以不同的方式和不同的层次进行了描述。由于每天的跨境通勤和边境管制所需的额外时间，生活的复杂性加剧了。流动性正义问题被提出，权力与流动性之间的相互关系越来越明显。Hyllie是一个交通节点，在这里，移动和不移动的界限变得模糊，权力在不同的层面上得到展示。

This article explores the entanglements of bodies, affects and infrastructures that give shape to the experiences, practices and sense-making of everyday mobilities among metro passengers in contemporary China. Building on the affective turn and infrastructural turn, this paper argues that passengering is an affectively charged and infrastructurally mediated process of forming and negotiating mobile subjectivities. Drawing on in-depth interviews and ethnographic observations, this paper demonstrates how ‘squeezing in’ is a core space-making practice among Chinese passengers that involves not only acquiring bodily skills, habits, and tactics but also engaging in affective capacities to negotiate modes of feeling and affective relations on the move. Moreover, situating the analysis in the specific context of infrastructural development and citizenship cultivation in contemporary China, this paper reveals how the norms, regulations and practices of ‘good ridership’ is closely entangled with the narrative of ‘quality citizenship’ in post-reform China. This paper thus enriches existing literature on passenger mobilities through providing new empirical insights and conceptual contemplation on what it means to be a passenger.

本文探讨了身体、情感和基础设施之间的纠缠，这些纠缠塑造了当代中国地铁乘客日常出行的体验、实践和意义建构。在情感转向和基础设施转向的基础上，本文认为乘客出行是一个情感驱动和基础设施中介的流动主体性形成和协商过程。通过深入访谈和民族志观察，本文展示了“挤进去”是中国乘客的一种核心空间制造实践，它不仅涉及获得身体技能、习惯和策略，还涉及在移动中协商感觉模式和情感关系的情感能力。此外，本文将分析置于当代中国基础设施发展和公民培养的特定背景下，揭示了改革后中国“好乘客”的规范、法规和实践是如何与“优质公民”的叙事紧密纠缠在一起的。因此，本文通过对乘客意味着什么提供新的实证见解和概念思考，丰富了现有的关于乘客流动性的文献。

This article discusses the history of efforts to shape passenger experience aboard urban railways through transport design. Taking Japan National Railways (JNR) trains as a case study, it examines the development of design interventions and organisational polices seeking to increase passenger comfort on Tokyo’s urban railway network in the second half of the 20th century. Industry and popular accounts have often tied the improvement of transport quality and passenger experience aboard JNR trains to its privatisation in 1987. In contrast, this article shows that passenger-oriented transport design has been an integral component in a continuous project to make urban railway travel more pleasant that long preceded this 1987 change in governance structures but has been held back by organisational and structural challenges. In doing so, it highlights that transport design involves the conscious shaping of both the “hardware” (i.e. physical transport infrastructure) and “software” (i.e. passenger-staff interactions) of service, as well as the backstage modification of organisational structures and processes that facilitate this framework. Built on a qualitative analysis of Japanese industry publications, newspapers, and secondary sources, the article thus contributes to literature on passenger experience, mobilities design, and transport history.

本文讨论了通过交通设计塑造城市铁路乘客体验的历史。以日本国家铁路（JNR）的列车为例，研究了20世纪下半叶东京城市铁路网的设计干预和组织政策的发展，以提高乘客的舒适度。业界和大众的说法往往将日本高铁的运输质量和乘客体验的改善与1987年的私有化联系在一起。相比之下，本文表明，在1987年治理结构发生变化之前，以乘客为导向的运输设计一直是一个持续项目的组成部分，使城市铁路旅行更加愉快，但一直受到组织和结构挑战的阻碍。在此过程中，它强调运输设计涉及有意识地塑造服务的“硬件”（即物理运输基础设施）和“软件”（即乘客与工作人员的互动），以及对组织结构和流程的后台修改，以促进这一框架。本文基于对日本行业出版物、报纸和二手资料的定性分析，为乘客体验、交通设计和交通历史方面的文献做出了贡献。

Are airports like cities? Affordances and people’s micro embodied interactions during the arrival experience 机场像城市吗？到达体验中的亲和力与人们的微观互动

Airports are designed to work efficiently. Specifically, they seek to efficiently process and ‘control’ people’s movements across landside and airside spaces, as well as to entice consumption through the architectural engineering of atmospheres and passenger experiences using architecture (Adey 2008; Fuller and Harley 2004; Hubregtse 2020). However, studies of the design and human sensorial perception of spaces of mobilities have shown that the way people move through and inhabit such spaces transcends the intended functionality of their design (Jensen and Lanng 2017). This includes work that considers airports as not only machines of movement, control and profit, but also city-like spaces (Hernandez-Bueno 2021; Nikolaeva 2013). Based on the conceptualisation of the airport as an ambiguous and city-like space, this paper uses thermal camera video recordings, ethnography, and design mappings to analyse the passenger movements, practices, embodied interactions, and mobile affordances of Copenhagen Airport’s meet and greet area. Focusing on a micro scale, the analysis shows the comparability of people’s practices and ways of inhabiting the airport with practices common to urban public spaces. This facilitates broader reflection on how to speculatively re-design and re-imagine the airport like an urban ‘public’ space.

机场的设计是为了提高工作效率。具体来说，他们寻求有效地处理和“控制”人们在陆地和空中空间的运动，以及通过建筑的氛围和乘客体验的建筑工程来吸引消费(Adey 2008；Fuller and Harley 2004；Hubregtse 2020)。然而，对设计和人类对活动空间的感官感知的研究表明，人们在这些空间中移动和居住的方式超越了其设计的预期功能（Jensen和lang 2017）。这包括将机场视为不仅是运动、控制和利润的机器，而且是城市般的空间(Hernandez-Bueno 2021；Nikolaeva 2013)。基于机场作为一个模糊和城市般的空间的概念，本文使用热成像摄像机录像，人种学和设计映射来分析哥本哈根机场见面和迎接区的乘客运动，实践，具体互动和移动功能。着眼于微观尺度，分析显示了人们在机场的实践和居住方式与城市公共空间的共同实践的可比性。这有助于更广泛地思考如何投机性地重新设计和重新想象机场作为城市“公共”空间。

Modern public transport systems are typically designed by following universal aspirations to predictability and standardisation. In the case of Santiago’s public transport, however, this design philosophy has often translated into concrete, practical struggles for users with more vulnerable corporealities. In analysing the case of a controversial turnstile installed in Santiago’s buses in 2016, this paper draws on video analysis to examine how passengers respond to, and locally deal with, its exclusionary design. Passengers’ interactions with this technology demonstrate how the turnstile is taken up as more than a mere sorting device, to become a matter of concern around mobility (in)justice. A detailed analysis of these interactions – through ethnomethodological analysis of video data – describes how passengers respond to the turnstile’s exclusionary design by deploying diverse embodied practices of care towards other users experiencing trouble with it. Such practices of care align with a grounded, embodied sense of mobility (in)justice as opposed to more abstract understandings of distributive justice. The paper concludes by discussing the potential forpublic transport systems to become more just and inclusive environments designed as infrastructures of care, whereby materialities may not only allow, but support, practices of care among users.

现代公共交通系统的设计通常遵循可预测性和标准化的普遍愿望。然而，在圣地亚哥的公共交通中，这种设计理念经常转化为具体的、实际的斗争，为更脆弱的身体用户服务。在分析2016年圣地亚哥公共汽车上安装的有争议的转门的案例时，本文利用视频分析来研究乘客如何反应，以及当地如何处理其排斥性设计。乘客与这项技术的互动表明，旋转门不仅仅是一个分类设备，而是一个与交通（或司法）有关的问题。通过对视频数据的民族方法学分析，对这些互动进行了详细的分析，描述了乘客如何通过对其他遇到麻烦的用户采取各种具体的关怀实践来应对旋转门的排他性设计。这种关怀的实践与一种扎根的、具体化的移动性正义相一致，而不是对分配正义的更抽象的理解。本文最后讨论了公共交通系统成为更加公正和包容的环境的潜力，这些环境被设计为护理基础设施，在这种基础设施中，物质不仅可以允许，而且可以支持用户的护理实践。

This paper combines critiques of network thinking and feminist approaches to infrastructural violence to examine London Underground design aesthetics and media discourses surrounding Transport for London’s sexual harassment poster campaigns. The paper starts by addressing how London Underground’s plural design philosophies – emerging in the early-20^th century and elaborated upon in contemporary standards – aspire to govern mobility and passenger conduct through a unified network aesthetic. Adapting Martin Coward’s critique of ‘network thinking’, multiple elements of design shape behaviour on the move by tying localised actions to networked vulnerability and risk. Drawing on Claudia Aradau’s reading of Barad’s mattering of matter, the paper then asks what is deprioritised through these aesthetic orderings. Focusing on growing issues of sexual harassment on the network and Transport for London’s attempts to manage them via recent poster campaigns, the paper argues that network thinking exacerbates a struggle to recognise the severity and infrastructural character of such violence. This is examined through news media responses to these campaigns, in particular the material-discursive enrolment of the ‘intrusive staring’ poster in discourses which break apart the continuum of harm, selectively (a-)politicising sexual violence and its policing.

本文结合了网络思维的批判和女权主义方法对基础设施暴力的研究，考察了伦敦地铁设计美学和围绕伦敦交通性骚扰海报运动的媒体话语。本文首先阐述了伦敦地铁的多元设计理念是如何通过统一的网络美学来管理机动性和乘客行为的。这种设计理念出现于20世纪初，并以当代标准加以阐述。根据Martin Coward对“网络思维”的批评，设计的多个元素通过将局部行动与网络脆弱性和风险联系起来，塑造了移动中的行为。根据克劳迪娅·阿拉多对巴拉德的《物质的重要性》的解读，本文接着提出了一个问题：通过这些审美秩序，什么被剥夺了优先权。关注网络上日益严重的性骚扰问题，以及伦敦交通局试图通过最近的海报活动来管理这些问题，论文认为，网络思维加剧了人们认识到此类暴力的严重性和基础设施特征的斗争。这是通过新闻媒体对这些运动的反应来检验的，特别是在话语中“侵入性凝视”海报的物质话语注册，这些话语打破了伤害的连续性，选择性地（a-）将性暴力及其警务政治化。

This special issue showcases new and emerging research at the intersection of mobility studies and design, examining how transport infrastructures, environments and embodied mobile practices are shaped and ‘designed’ by a whole host of experts, professions and politicians for different purposes. In this introductory article we provide an overview of transport and mobility design, opening with a discussion of the long-standing importance of design to the history of infrastructural provision. We outline the important contribution that mobility studies approaches can make to the study of transport design, highlighting the role of qualitative and mobile methods, sociological and philosophical analyses of passenger subjectivities, and of politically sensitive approaches to the design of mobility infrastructures. We examine how passengers possess different bodily capacities and abilities which may lead them to be included or excluded, have access to services or not. In the final section we introduce the seven articles comprising the special issue.

本期特刊展示了交通研究与设计交叉领域的新兴研究，探讨了交通基础设施、环境和具体的移动实践是如何由一大批专家、专业人士和政治家为不同目的而塑造和“设计”的。在这篇介绍性文章中，我们概述了交通和机动性设计，首先讨论了设计对基础设施供应历史的长期重要性。我们概述了流动性研究方法对交通设计研究的重要贡献，强调了定性和流动性方法的作用，乘客主体性的社会学和哲学分析，以及交通基础设施设计的政治敏感方法。我们研究乘客如何拥有不同的身体能力和能力，这些能力和能力可能导致他们被包括或被排除在外，获得服务或不获得服务。最后，我们将介绍本期特刊的七篇文章。
