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.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51457,"journal":{"name":"Mobilities","volume":"20 4","pages":"Pages 623-641"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141644582","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

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.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51457,"journal":{"name":"Mobilities","volume":"20 4","pages":"Pages 662-679"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141804588","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

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 <span><span>2017</span></span>). This includes work that considers airports as not only machines of movement, control and profit, but also city-like spaces (Hernandez-Bueno <span><span>2021</span></span>; Nikolaeva <span><span>2013</span></span>). 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.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51457,"journal":{"name":"Mobilities","volume":"20 4","pages":"Pages 601-622"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141648953","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The paper starts by addressing how London Underground’s plural design philosophies – emerging in the early-20<sup>th</sup> 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.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51457,"journal":{"name":"Mobilities","volume":"20 4","pages":"Pages 680-697"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144685961","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It centers on the sonic qualities of electric mobility which have changed the urban sound environment. The analysis highlights how associations of the blind have advocated against silent cars. The debate around sound-producing cars is described with regard to three different but related areas. First, I consider how traffic noise is framed as a health hazard, whereas electric vehicles (EVs) incorporate a possible solution to the current noise levels in urban environments despite posing a threat to pedestrian safety. While questioning the positive characteristics ascribed to EVs, I then turn to traffic noise as a productive factor for blind as well as sighted pedestrians’ mobility. This leads me to consider the recently established regulation for Acoustic Vehicle Alerting Systems (AVAS) in EVs and scrutinize the sonic dimension of EVs. Thirdly, synthetic car noise will be analyzed as an innovative component of contemporary sound design and marketing strategies. Consequently, unraveling the co-constitution of blind walking, sonic productions, and electric mobility allows me to emphasize how a just future politics of (auto)mobility necessarily has to consider the senses of pedestrians in their heterogeneous variability.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51457,"journal":{"name":"Mobilities","volume":"20 3","pages":"Pages 410-426"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144106953","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
