12 Non-Cable or Gondola Transit Related Posts (Part 1)

Post by admin

As it’s the new year, a lot of blogs are posting things like their “10 most popular posts of 2010.” And while I considered doing something similar, I realized it wouldn’t make a lot of sense given that the 10 most popular posts are already listed on the widget in the upper-right corner of this page.

Instead, I decided to look back at what were some of my favorite posts from the last year that were not gondola or cable transit related. The links are below in no particular order.

For those of you who’ve been here for a while, you might recognize some of them. For those who are new to the site, they will give you a better idea of what we’re about here at The Gondola Project and some of the philosophical underpinnings of the work we do.

And even though the posts are old, feel free to comment and engage in discussion.

  • Forcing Functions – Humans make mistakes constantly. Forcing Functions help prevent those mistakes. What forcing functions do we need to see in transit to make it better for everyone?
  • A Minute Is Not A Minute – Are our transit models undermined by the fact that people perceive time in very different ways?
  • Inflexible Inventory – Everyone wants to travel at the same time in the same direction. Can that problem be solved?
  • Never Mind The Real World – Do our planning models sufficiently take into consideration that which actually occurs in the world, rather than what we hope will occur?
