Author: Steven Higashide (Island Press, 2019)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Better Buses, Better Cities: How to Plan, Run and Win the Fight for Effective Transit<\/em> is the ultimate roadmap for how to make the bus great again in your city.<\/p>\n

Part technical backgrounder, part political field manual, Steven Higashide is a seasoned transit reformer and advocate who provides cautionary tales but also the inspiration for making cities better places to live.<\/p>\n

His book\u2019s central argument is that some of the deepest problems in North American society can be addressed by improving bus service. Overall, he makes a compelling argument about how cities that fully embrace the potential of urban buses are safer, fairer, more inclusive, healthier and more sustainable\u2014and how every step forward on this front can improve thousands of lives.<\/p>\n

If this all sounds straightforward, it really isn\u2019t. However, Higashide\u2019s transportation planning explanations and diagrams are practical and digestible, providing critical grounding for both elected officials and interested citizens alike. In Higashide\u2019s view, when politicians, transit activists and public agency leaders work together to realize better bus networks, everyone wins.<\/p>\n

Better Buses, Better Cities<\/em> is organized into eight chapters book-ended by an introduction and conclusion. It begins by explaining what bus riders want and how planning bus networks that maximize usefulness to the maximum number of people provide very real benefits to a city. A series of chapters then examine specific elements of good bus service (including frequency, reliability and walkability) and how transit \u2018reformers\u2019 across the US have fought to achieve them. In turn, Higashide explores broader issues in American cities\u2014such as how state and federal transportation policy affects bus service. He also looks at the need for stronger transit reform movements and the role of new mobility modes.<\/p>\n

Higashide provides transit case studies from multiple American cities, including Miami-Dade County, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Nashville, New York City, Indianapolis, and Seattle (considered one of America\u2019s modern transit success stories, and where Kevin Desmond, CEO of TransLink, the BC Lower Mainland transit agency, hails from). While the book\u2019s focus is squarely on US cities, Higashide\u2019s views and findings can certainly be applied to Vancouver and other Canadian cities.<\/p>\n

As Higashide points out, people typically choose transit more often (including bus and rail travel) when it meets their needs. To attract riders, options must be fast, frequent, reliable, affordable and conveniently and comfortably connected to many walkable destinations. In Higashide\u2019s view, that goes beyond getting people to and from work and extends to daily destinations including shopping, medical appointments, childcare and get-togethers with family and friends.<\/p>\n

In addition to these benefits, as well-known transit consultant and advocate Jarrett Walker says, \u201cfrequency is freedom,\u201d and good transit can play a role in helping address serious economic and racial equity issues in our communities. With more transit users, per-ride costs also help lower overall operating costs for transit agencies\u2014which can, in turn, be re-invested in the overall system.<\/p>\n

Higashide also examines the future of transit vs. what he terms \u201cTransportation Network Companies\u201d or TNCs such as Uber and Lyft. In a chapter entitled Technology Won\u2019t Kill the Bus Unless We Let It<\/em>, he suggests cities seize the future rather than surrender to it; they should avoid relying on futuristic promises of short-term technological advances. It has been well-documented that ride-sharing systems and the proliferation of online shopping are causing greater congestion in cities. Accordingly, in Higashide\u2019s view, investing in transit offers real solutions for easing this burden while making immediate improvements in citizens\u2019 lives. For Higashide, listening to, and learning from, riders\u2019 experiences is intelligent transit.<\/p>\n

Another angle Higashide explores is US federal transit policy; he says highways remain heavily subsidized, meaning that transit and other \u2018space-efficient modes\u2019 such as biking and pooled trips still aren\u2019t properly recognized for easing the congestion burden.<\/p>\n

For Higashide, three champions are needed to grow a stronger transit reform movement: public agency leaders, civic advocacy organizations and elected officials. He calls this trio the \u201cHamburger of Reform.\u201d<\/p>\n

The book\u2019s main argument is that it takes an alliance of reformers\u2014both within and outside government\u2014to improve a city\u2019s bus transit. This involves: building diverse coalitions that include business and faith-based leaders; having clear transit goals and measures of success; articulating an agenda for change; understanding the dynamics of city power; and being equipped with reliable information, resources and workable solutions.<\/p>\n

To Higashide\u2019s way of thinking, moving the bus \u2018needle\u2019 forward involves operating with a \u2018campaign mindset;\u2019 when transit reformers clearly identify influencers and have defined goals, they can win over public opinion, grow their movements and realize tangible \u2018wins\u2019 in short order. Higashide emphasizes that all this critical community organizing requires consistent and steady funding streams and resources to keep citizens engaged, as well as strong public messaging that clearly communicates what citizens are getting for their tax dollars. This is especially imperative during transit-themed referendum campaigns, such as the 2015 referendum held in B.C.<\/p>\n

Beyond strong transit advocacy organizations, cities also need visionary elected officials and transit agency bureaucracies that can envisage a city\u2019s transit future. They must also understand and be able to leverage internal structures that can deliver on transit projects year after year. As Andy Byford, President of the New York City Transit Authority, and former CEO of the Toronto Transit Commission says, \u201crunning a transit system is like Groundhog Day; each day is the same but it should be better.\u201d Time and time again, early transit success gets politicians hungry for more improvements to the network.<\/p>\n

As this book demonstrates with its many case studies, cities are better with more and stronger transit advocates. \u201cTo win better buses in more cities, we need more wonky transit blogs, more faith-based organizing, more riders\u2019 unions, and more state budget watchdogs.\u201d In saying this, Higashide also makes a case for finding additional ways city-based transit reformers can learn from one another, and Canada\u2019s cities could especially benefit from this learning exchange.<\/p>\n

Readers interested in improving transit systems, fighting climate change and inequity in North American cities should be inspired by Better Buses, Better Cities<\/em>. With its many success stories, practical tips and tools, it\u2019s a call to action for improving a city\u2019s bus service. In Higashide\u2019s words, \u201ceach step [taken] to improve bus service represents a meaningful improvement for the lives of hundreds of people who wait at each bus stop.\u201d<\/p>\n
