"Mass transit isn't just about how you get there, but what the place is like "there". Its about working to create pedestrian friendly nodes. Its about planning for the future and setting a step by step process in place leading you to what you want. Check out what Salt Lake City has done for instance. They are building rail just like we build highways and you see the appropriate, pedestrian friendly business/shopping/living developments popping up all up and down their lines. Their new suburban developments are even becoming more and more rail centric. Then they add bus lines branching out laterally from the rail lines down pedestrian friendly corridors. For a neat thread, check out Skyscraper Page Forums, the Transportation section, then find the Salt Lake City thread. They are a conservative city that has discovered the "smart money" for future development is in rail/mass transit, and the appropriate zoning for that, not just highways and its zoning. Their economy is becoming more efficient, is booming, has low unemployment, and the population is growing rapidly as people discover its convenient, enjoyable way of life. http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/showthread.php?t=150074&page=17"
