Monograph

This issue contains 12 papers concerned with transit. Specific topics addressed include: real-time passenger information signs in rail stations; the performance of Australian light rail compared with U.S. trends; rail transit networks with ring lines; rail car seating design; the accommodation of long-term growth on North American commuter railroads; and the impact of light rail transit planning decisions on metropolitan transit performance. Other topics addressed in this issue include light rail transit urban insertion and safety; strategic station access planning for commuter rail; park-and-ride access station choice models for cross-regional commuting; public transit catchment areas; environmental and cost-saving impacts of park-and-rides; and social media applications in unplanned passenger rail disruptions.
