minus-squarewtypstanaccount04 [he/him]hexagonMhexbear17·edit-24 years agoStep 1: More bus service. 15 minutes or less on every major arterial Step 2: Bus lanes. Spray paint them in at night if you have to and enforce them with cameras or Austin Red Guard Step 3: Single-family zoning? It's done for folks. Step 4: Public housing right next to all of the major transit corridors Step 5: If your city is large enough for rapid transit, do that. If not, all your main bus routes should be made trolleybus routes. Step 6: Congestion charge. Yeah, it's a bit neolib, but use that money to expand the transit network. link

minus-squarewtypstanaccount04 [he/him]hexagonMhexbear8·edit-24 years agoThe Soviets gave every city above 1 million a metro, but I would say 200,000 people is enough for a light metro. Do note this is the ideal, in reality most cities don't get metros until they have at least 500,000 people or so link
