The City, in partnership with Auricle, is kicking off the second phase of the Auricle Local Listeners in Transit project. Between February and mid-May, Auricle will set up stations in transit spaces to offer riders and the public opportunities to connect with “Local Listeners’ in vibrant and inviting spaces.
The project aims to offer the public an opportunity to share personal stories or explore others’ unique experiences in transit. The Local Listeners will ask follow-up questions for reflection to create deeper meaning and to foster a greater understanding of riders’ well-being.
Phase one of the Auricle Local Listeners in Transit project was completed in 2023, with 175 stories gathered through 14 activations at Jasper Place Transit Centre and Clareview and Churchill LRT Stations. The stories offered insights into individual experiences, perceptions and their sense of well-being in transit spaces.
