John Adams never set out to change a city.
He bought an old bus because it still ran.
He mapped five stops because people were already waiting there.
He showed up every morning because someone had to.
What followed wasn't growth driven by ambition-but by trust.
As word spread, riders returned. Routes expanded. A second bus joined the first. Then another. What began behind a fence, with grease-stained hands and quiet determination, became something the city relied on.
The Lines We Built is the story of how ordinary work-done faithfully-creates something extraordinary.
Not through speed.
Not through spectacle.
But by showing up, again and again.
