Looking Forward: A Simple Addition to the Transit Model

Today’s transit model has a number of problems, but none are as large as its inherently limited service area. It is this that causes the bus transit network to have poor service in lower density neighborhoods, which can lead to poverty if the inhabitants cannot get to work. But as self driving cars become more viable, they can be incorporated into the existing transit model cheaply and easily. In my Vlog, I propose a small addition to the current bus transit model as used by Columbus that will allow more people to reliably use existing transit to get to work.
