19% of workers in Sternenberg use transit; 10% walk or bike, the rest drive. That's better mode share than ANY American city except NYC!!

But for places like Massachusetts? Density isn't going to justify service in most places unless the network is INTEGRATED like the Swiss one
-
All other factors aside, service frequency--aka, how long do I have to wait?--is the main driver of transit ridership.
-
Density, in turn, is main driver of frequency. What an integrated network does is put low freq service into a context that makes it USEFUL!
-
Those 7 buses to Sternenberg would have no riders if they didn't connect to trains at Bauma, EVEN IF THEY STILL WENT TO BAUMA!
-
This is because Sternenberg-Bauma is not a very demanded route *on its own.* But Sternenberg to Bauma/Winterthur/Zurich/Airport?
-
Network effects in transit MULTIPLY the number of trips that are possible from a given point of origin. We can do this in the USA!
