Most cities work better without a car. Not as a political statement. As a practical matter, most travel content hasn’t caught up with it yet.
Vector+Vista exists to close that gap.
This site covers transit-first travel across North America and beyond. City transit guides built from firsthand experience. Airport and airline coverage. Food markets, cultural access, active exploration, and the occasional deep dive into a route or system worth knowing about. The content is grounded in real documentation, real trips, and a genuine point of view about how cities are best experienced.
The brand philosophy is simple: transit isn’t a compromise. It’s a different set of conditions, ones that tend to produce richer, more spontaneous, more connected experiences than driving through the same places would. We’re not here to tell you never to rent a car. We’re here to show you how often you don’t need to.
Vector+Vista launched in 2026. The archive behind it goes back considerably further, 16 years of geotagged photography, 60+ transit agencies, 40+ cities, 11 countries, and counting.
If you’re curious whether a specific city works without a car, you’re in the right place. If you already know it does and want to go deeper, you’re also in the right place.
Around the corner and around the globe.
