The Case for Public Transportation Network Planning
In cities around the world, public transportation systems provide people with
communal transportation services, most commonly by bus or train. Whether the service is
managed and delivered by public or private sector agents, or some combination thereof, it is
usually organized into a local network serving an urbanized area defined by political
boundaries. Of course, public transportation networks also interact with and are influenced by
other daily transportation options such as driving, walking, and cycling.
