Engineers plan transport systems, people use them. But the ways in
which an engineer measures success - speed, journey time,
efficiency - are often not the way that passengers think about a
good trip. We are not cargo. We choose how and when to travel,
influenced not only by speed and time but by habit, status,
comfort, variety - and many other factors that engineering
equations don't capture at all. As we near the practical, physical
limits of speed, capacity and punctuality, the greatest hope for a
brighter future lies in adapting transport to more human wants and
needs. Behavioural science has immense potential to improve the
design of roads, railways, planes and pavements - as well as the
ways in which we use them - but only when we embrace the messier
reality of transport for humans. This is the moment. Climate
change, the coronavirus pandemic and changing work-life priorities
have shaken up long-held assumptions. There is a new way forward.
This book maps out how to design transport for humans.
