They offer affordable mobility and can connect citizens with every aspect of their lives. But in the US, they have long been an afterthought in budgeting and planning. Transit expert Steven Higashide uses real‑world stories of reform to show us what a successful bus system looks like. Higashide explains how to marshal the public in support of better buses and argues that better bus systems will create better cities for all citizens. With a compelling narrative and actionable steps, Better Buses, Better Cities describes how decision‑makers, philanthropists, activists, and public agency leaders can work together to make the bus a win in any city. .Transportation engineeringTraffic engineeringHuman geographySociology, UrbanTransportation Technology and Traffic EngineeringHuman GeographyUrban SociologyTransportation engineering.Traffic engineering.Human geography.Sociology, Urban.Transportation Technology and Traffic Engineering.Human Geography.Urban Sociology.388.34233Higashide Stevenauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut975016MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910377821403321Better Buses, Better Cities2220135UNINA
