Route 58 by Emma Gibson Tramlines

    • Books

Today’s journey is a new fiction work by Emma Gibson: Happily, Ever Future. The optimum place to listen to it is on the route 58 tram, starting at stop 45, Bell Street and ending at stop 4, Collins Street, but it can be listened to on any tram at any time.

In the near future, Melbourne is selected for a bold experiment to solve a wicked problem plaguing urban planners around the globe: will jamming mobile phones during peak hour commutes improve safety?

Ash and Gem are regular passengers on the tram. Without screens to distract them, they make a connection, opening up the possibilities of further adventures together, but once normal mobile phone service is resumed, will they lose sight of one another again?

You decide the ending depending on which stop you depart at.
