Restid is the Swedish word for ‘travel time’. These podcasts explore the stories of journeys, the theatre of travel, and how people use their travel time.

Restid, travel time

Restid (with an \"i\") explores why so many people are now embracing shared transport. It's a lifestyle choice rather than just a mode of travel. The motivations for change vary: convenience, safety, cost, and environmental responsibility, are often cited. But the one that really intrigues us is the desire “to explore”.

Whether resting, reading, watching or writing, chatting or listening, travel time is our time, to use as we choose. And a great journey is like a book that you want to finish but not to end.
