Monograph

This collection of 13 papers addresses the subject of transit. The first three papers are concerned with intermodal transfer facilities and transit capacity and quality of service. The next seven papers are focused on light rail, commuter rail, and rail transit, discussing the following: modernizing streetcar systems, trolley service, ridership on the Los Angeles Metro System Green Line (the "line to nowhere"), project delivery method for light rail, punctuality on suburban trains to and from Paris, passenger rail equipment specification for crash energy management, and urban rail operations simulation. The final three papers are focused on major activity center circulation systems, discussing personal rapid transit service and transit-oriented development.
