The Better Urban Transit Project is a collection of ideas by Karan Desai. He is a self-taught public transit, urban planning, and sustainable transportation enthusiast. He has travelled extensively on public transit systems in more than 50 cities across 5 continents, observing and documenting their network, schedules, infrastructure, ticketing systems, accessibility, and overall integration into the fabric of the cities. He draws inspiration from these experiences to create solutions for human-centric urban transportation and city planning.
