Abstract

From a social constructionist gaze perspective on the city, this paper approaches the public bus service in Almería, Spain. Through an ethnographic view, a narration is established as a possible way to understand how the dynamics of the city (re)define and are (re)defined by the bus-world and urbanite assemblage, so that the results of this description, divided into four main ideas, do make the reader reflect on subsequent works about alternative possibilities for acting in the bus network and, therefore, for acting in the city.
