I think the way you approached this though is an indicator itself- will the answer lie in scouring planning journals and theories or will it be in a simple, direct, gestalt evaluation of how a mode or plan feels? Another problem is that planners are inherently selling the future. Is it worth all the money to make all these predictions?

The answer to that could take the form of an interactive travel time map, such as WalkScore's (http://www.walkscore.com/transit-map.php), which cares only about your ability to get where you're going, not mode or cuteness or advertising or anything else.Jarretthttp://humantransit.orgnoreply@blogger.com
