ABSTRACT
Niels Bohr facetiously cautioned: “Prediction is very difficult, especially of the future”. Nonetheless, future developments in transit operations are already reflected in a vast amount of articles. Although we cannot change the direction of the wind (evolution of lifestyles, land-use patterns), we can adjust the sails (create attractive transit systems that will naturally shift people from the car to public transit vehicles). This sail-adjustment realization relies heavily on the ongoing development of new technologies.
