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. . 606 $aTransportation engineering 606 $aTraffic engineering 606 $aHuman geography 606 $aSociology, Urban 606 $aTransportation Technology and Traffic Engineering 606 $aHuman Geography 606 $aUrban Sociology 615 0$aTransportation engineering. 615 0$aTraffic engineering. 615 0$aHuman geography. 615 0$aSociology, Urban. 615 14$aTransportation Technology and Traffic Engineering. 615 24$aHuman Geography. 615 24$aUrban Sociology. 676 $a388.34233 700 $aHigashide$b Steven$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0975016 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910377821403321 996 $aBetter Buses, Better Cities$92220135 997 $aUNINA
