Article: Human Transit: Email of the week: on Robert Steuteville’s defense of slower-than-walking transit.

I haven’t read the article that this person is complaining about in an email to Jarrett Walker that he posted on his blog (wow – meta much?) but I’m sure I’ll come away with the same feeling.

Transit (and transportation in general) is for moving people and stuff, nothing more, nothing less.  You might get auxiliary benefits from transit — nicer streetscape, economic development — but those are byproducts of the transportation not the reason for the transportation.
