This course explores the geometric facts underlying how transit networks work and how these networks interact with the built environment to create ridership potential. This discussion includes a review of key principles and examples from various recent network designs. We review the multiple and competing goals for transit, and what difficult tradeoffs still need to be made in making transit policy. We will also explore the relatively new concept of access to opportunity as a possibly unifying measure of a transit network’s success.
