Ed Anderson Creates an Idea for Changing America on Change.org
Under the heading "Solving Urban Transportation Through Innovation" Ed makes the point that all of our urban transportation systems are based ideas from the late 19th Century. In 1968 studies sponsored by Congress showed that if the USA continues to use only conventional transit, congestion will continue to worsen, but if budding new personal transit systems were deployed congestion could be reduced. See Scientific American, July 1969. As the technology of computers, automatic control, materials, etc. have advanced so also the system engineering of these new systems have advanced.
