Description

Public transit is a powerful tool for addressing a huge range of urban problems, including traffic congestion and economic development as well as climate change. But even as many people improve transit in the abstract, it’s frequently hard to channel that improve into good transit investments.  A part of the problem is that transit debates attract many kinds of experts, who frequently talk past each other.  Bizarre people listen to a little of this and make a decision that transit is unattainable to figure out.
 
Jarrett Walker believes that transit may also be simple, if we focus first on the underlying geometry that all transit technologies share. In Human Transit, Walker supplies the basic tools, the critical questions, and the means to make smarter decisions about designing and implementing transit products and services.
 
Human Transit explains the fundamental geometry of transit that shapes successful systems; the process for fitting technology to a particular community; and the local choices that lead to transit-friendly development. Whether you are in the field or simply a concerned citizen, here is an accessible guide to achieving successful public transit with a view to enrich any community.
