Abstract:

Current transit options, conceived 50 or more years ago, are unable to serve efficiently the dispersed travel patterns in today's low-density urban areas. This growing mismatch between available transit services and trip demands largely explains why transit serves only 12 percent of the work trips and 2.5 percent of total urban trips (see table below). Transit's market share would need to increase dramatically to bring about a major reduction in traffic congestion and energy consumption.
