Could you share the titles of those other books? Searching for a "Vanderbilt transit book" only brings up pages of commuting advice from Vanderbilt University.

- peatmoss 8y agoSure, sorry about that. To be clear these are mass-market books that I recommend to people wanting to get a deeper, but still high level understanding of transportation systems. Tom Vanderbilt - Traffic: Why We Drive the Way We Do Anthony Downs - Stuck in Traffic (and the follow-up, Still Stuck in Traffic) Donald Shoup - The High Cost of Free Parking And of course Jarrett Walker's Human Transit :-) EDIT: The rationale is that all of these engagingly explain something interesting that isn't necessarily intuitive or apparent to regular everyday users of the transportation system.
- wool_gather 8y agoAwesome, thank you for the recommendations!
