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.

Books I Recommend (Transit and Urbanism)
Robert Cervero: The Transit Metropolis: A Global Inquiry
A rigorous but readable study of the transit choices made by a range of cities around the world, and how these choices have shaped the city for better or worse.Richard Gilbert and Anthony Perl: Transport Revolutions: Moving People and Freight Without Oil
James S. Russell: The Agile City: Building Well-being and Wealth in an Era of Climate Change
David Sucher: City Comforts: How to Build an Urban Village, Revised Edition
Engaging book on the details of creating welcoming urban space.Allan B. Jacobs: Great Streets
The definitive book on the ingredients of a great urban streetscape.
It could be a horrible job. SF has a reputation for refusing even minor changes with big, trumped up protests organized by people whose bus stop might move 100 feet.
