Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Walker is a realist, and Human Transit is a spirited guideprescriptive but with a righteous dash of polemicto what we get wrong about transit. --Tom Vanderbilt in SlateThis book gives professionals, pundits, and the citizenry the tools to have conversations that lead to real solutions rather than confrontations. -- Terry Lee-Williams. Transport and Access Manager, City of Sydney, AustraliaJarrett Walker pulls transit out of its specialist silo and treats it in layman's terms, as an embodiment of shared values and a partial answer to the vital question 'what kind of city do you want?' Human Transit is an engrossing narrative that explains the real choices that informed citizens need to make. -- Ken Greenberg, author of Walking Home: The Life and Lessons of a City BuilderYoure an idiot --Elon Musk Tweeting a response to Jarrett Walker explaining transitTransportation expert Jarrett Walker believes that transit can be simple, if we focus on the underlying geometry that all transit systems share. In Human Transit, Revised Edition, he provides the basic tools and critical questions needed to make smarter decisions about designing and implementing services, refreshed with updated information and examples.The first edition of Human Transit, published in 2011, has become a classic for professionals, advocates, and interested citizens. No other book explains the basic principles of public transit in such lively and accessible prose, all based on a respect for your right to form your own opinion. Walkers goal is not to make you share his values, but to give you the tools to clarify and advocate for yours.Walker has updated and expanded the book to deepen its explanations. His ongoing work as a network planning consultant has provided a wealth of new examples, images, and tools. New topics include the problem with specialisation; the role of flexible or demand response services; how to know when to redesign your network; and responding to tech-industry claims that transit will soon be obsolete. Finally, he has also added a major new section exploring the idea of access to opportunity as a core measure of transits success.Whether you are a professional or a concerned citizen, the revised edition of this accessible guide can help you to achieve successful public transit that will enrich any community. The much-anticipated update to Jarrett Walkers seminal guide to public transportation. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
