Human Transit: Public Transportation for Personal Freedom
Jarrett Walker
Transit Planner and Designer
Jarrett Walker has been designing public transit systems for over 20 years. He is a Principal Consultant with MRCagney in Australia and writes the popular blog HumanTransit.org. He believes that transit can be simple if we focus first on the underlying geometry that all transit technologies share. In his new book, "Human Transit," Walker provides planners, policy-makers and citizens with the basic tools, the critical questions and the means to make smarter decisions about designing and implementing transit services. Join MIT Visiting Scholar Aaron Naparstek for a conversation with Jarrett Walker, as he shares his vision of "abundant access," in which public transit might be brought back to its core purpose of expanding every individual's freedom to access the riches of their city.
