This study develops the notion of infrastructural excess to foreground how representational strategies and security practices combine to facilitate a specific political rationality of public bus transit. Critical analysis of bus-rapid transit (BRT) in Cleveland, Ohio, highlights how bus service improvment is undermined by the necessity of transforming the image of bus transit to catalyze urban revitalization It argues that the branding and policing of BRT, features nonessential to service delivery, constitute an infrastructural excess, which enabling busing to serve land development goals. The notion of infrastructural excess calls attention to busing as a new site for the enactment and enforcement of capitalist values at the expense of working class residents and transit riders. The case of Cleveland’s HealthLine demonstrates the complex implications of placing an economic imperative on a social service and the ways that BRT reproduces injustice on a racialized and classed public transit landscape.
