Mineta Transportation Institute at San Jose State University has published a new perspective on how vehicle automation can sensibly apply to public transit.

Ongoing innovations in automated and connected road vehicles create an important opportunity for a new path of radical transformation in public transportation.

This essay by John Niles is derived from the textbook by Grush Niles Strategic: The End of Driving: Transportation Systems and Public Policy Planning for Autonomous Vehicles (Elsevier, 2018) describing the Transit Leap framework for motivating and managing the necessary expansion of public transit if it is to remain viable in first world urban areas.
