Designing Bus Lines For New Urban Communities

"Such communities should of course be designed to make walking and cycling easy and convenient, but what about public transit?In the majority of new urban and suburban developments, transit comes into its own as a way of linking the community with the rest of the metropolitan area. Trips to work lend themselves to transit and are responsible for the largest single category of transit travel. For many people, work trips occur with great regularity: to and from the same end points, five days a week, at approximately the same times each day. Trips to and from school are next in volume, also due to their regularity, and to the fact that many students can't drive or don't have access to a car."
