Operating safely isn’t a choice. I guess WMATA still has this opportunity with upcoming 50th anniversary of the start of service--2026--to get their "stuff" together, rebuild the consensus, actually figure out how to operate the system, grow it, if possible, etc. We are keeping customers at the center of everything we do.

Another example is the taxi collectif program of the STM transit system in Montreal , which operates at end of line stations.

Cities cost money to operate. I argue that that section of the Metro operates "monocentrically" while the overall design of the system is polycentric, which doesn't help the city so much--BART is a great example of a polycentric system, although SF doesn't really need it because it has its own rail-based transit system.

Later, I realized that along the lines of thinking about transit as a network operating at different scales I propose a metropolitan scale as the foundation, usually heavy rail and railroad, and then center city and suburban (sub)networks within it. This should have been done as part of BRAC planning, something I first suggested in 2005.)

In this document, we complete our four-part vision by articulating a doctrine we call “swarming,” and which we believe may eventually apply across the entire spectrum of conflict—from low to high intensity, and from civic-oriented actions to military combat operations on land, at sea, and in the air (preface, iii).
