Sprawl And Transit

One of the often overlooked aspects of suburban and exurban sprawl is the impact such sprawl has on mass transit.

A recent study concluded that Michigan's economic development tools have contributed to inefficient land use and sprawl.

But overlooked in the study (and often overlooked) is the impact of sprawl on mass transit. Mass transit requires a critical densely populated area to be maximally efficient. One impact of sprawl is the detrimental effect on efficient mass transit.

Just another reason why sprawl is inefficient and counter-productve for a society.
