Imagine a bus system that is fast, frequent, and reliable, what
would that change about where you live? Buses can and should be the
cornerstone of urban transportation. They offer affordable mobility
and can connect citizens with every aspect of their lives. But in
the UK, and US they have long been an afterthought in budgeting and
planning. With a compelling narrative and actionable steps, Better
Buses, Better Cities inspires us to fix the bus. Transport expert
Steven Higashide shows us what a successful bus system looks like
with real-world stories of reform, such as Houston redrawing its
bus network overnight, and San Francisco revamping its boarding
procedures. Higashide shows how to marshal the public in support of
better buses and how new technologies can keep buses on time and
make complex transit systems understandable. Higashide argues that
better bus systems will create better cities for all citizens. The
consequences of subpar transport services fall most heavily on
vulnerable members of society. Transport systems should be planned
to be inclusive and provide better service for all. These are
difficult tasks that require institutional culture shifts; doing
all of them requires resilient organisations and transformational
leadership. Better bus service is key to making our cities better
for all citizens. 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.
