"To read Human Transit, Revised Edition is to grasp not just what makes an effective bus route or rail line, but to also understand the geometry, economics, and human values that shape cities—and that enhance or diminish them. How we respond to the vital questions in this book will help us address the urgent climate, safety, health, economic, equity, and mobility challenges that cities face."

"I read Jarrett’s book in my early days as the Minister for Public Transport, Roads and Road Safety. It has informed my perspective on how transit systems can shape cities and transform the lives of communities and the importance of keeping people front and centre in our decision making. Thank you Jarrett for sharing your expertise and passion for transport planning in your captivating narrative."
