- W616841362 abstract "The study begins with listing what are considered the twelve most commonly expressed and perhaps believed anti-transit myths: 1) light rail transit has been a failure everywhere; 2) transit is a declining industry; 3) commuting by rail is slower than commuting by car or bus; 4) transit does not relieve congestion; 5) where transit is needed, buses are better than rail; 6) rail transit can only serve city centers; 7) rail transit does not spur economic development; 8) transit brings crime into a community; 9) most light rail riders are former bus riders; 10) free market competition and privately operated transit is better; 11) on average, most of the seats on a bus or train are empty; and, 12) it would be cheaper to lease or buy a new car for every rider than to build a new light rail system. The authors critique these twelve myths, plus an additional 22 by providing what are expressed as facts to refute the myths. The conclusion provided urges: to build rail transit, start small; build a starter line; keep it simple and cheap; build it where people want to go; and let the system sell itself. The authors argue that soon the public will be asking for more rail transit." @default.
