Stuff You Need to Know
- Walking distance to transit
Why it's hard (but essential) to think about. - Branching: transit is like a river
Branching a line looks easy. Know what's being sacrificed. - Transit's great triangle
(1) Urban form. (2) Transit service. (3) Ridership. Why it's pointless to discuss two of them without the third. - The case for frequency mapping
Some transit is useful for a free and empowered life, but only if we can find it. - Benefits of transit
Transit by itself doesn't reduce congestion, but it does give us alternatives to it. Here are the other great things it does. - Network redesign: Why and how
It's like pruning a tree by committee. Tips on why, how, and process. - Illusions of travel time
The fastest service may not get you there soonest. - Want freedom? Love grids.
For transit that's both efficient and empowering, learn about transit grids (not just street grids). - Want to be a transit planner?
Paths into the profession. - "Be on the Way!"
How land use plans, and your own location choices, determine whether transit can work, for you and your city. - "Transferring" can be good!
Why networks that rely on connections or "transfers" can get you there faster than those that try to avoid them.
