摘要：
The purpose of this presentation is to review urban transportation likely to be offered in 20-30 years, as the year 2050 approaches. Trip-making behavior has already changed considerably as lifestyles change and it will continue to change in the future. This presentation emphasizes thinking profoundly of the possibilities, rather than predicting them. It will be shown that solutions for the future must be based on public transport (PT) modes of travel, regardless of whether they are metro, bus, light rail, tram, Uber or Lyft service, an ordinary taxi, personal-rapid transit or any other PT-based future mode. Challenges will be presented as to how to measure, detect weaknesses, and optimize well-connected routes that will offer commuters to access the complete PT network by making transfers efficiently to move hopefully seamlessly.
