Storyline
A father (George) and daughter (Alina) embark on a busy morning journey through the city's
crowded transit system, navigating buses and trains to get to Alina’s kindergarten for a special
Parents' Show and Tell event. Along the way, Alina becomes captivated by the diverse
professionals she encounters — imagining where they are going and what they do at work, all
while George is dealing with the stress of arriving at their destination on time. At the Show and Tell,
parents from diverse professions highlight how essential the city's transit system is in connecting
workers and driving the economy. The event underscores the importance of maintaining and
evolving public transit for future generations, inspiring a vision for its continued role in supporting
the city's growth and success.
