First Friday Unbook Club - Human Transit

BikeWalk MHK hosts an Unbook Club: a low-stakes book club where reading is optional. There is no homework and no pressure. We gather to discuss big ideas related to our mission of advancing more equitable transportation options in Manhattan, KS. You are welcome to come, whether you have read the book, skimmed an article, listened to a podcast, or are simply ready to listen and participate.
This month’s discussion:
Human Transit
How Clearer Thinking About Public Transit Can Enrich Our Communities and Our Lives
by Jarrett Walker
Great transit doesn't happen by accident it happens through understanding tradeoffs.
In Human Transit, transit planner Jarrett Walker explains the fundamental principles that make transportation systems work. Rather than focusing on specific technologies or transit modes, Walker explores how frequency, coverage, density, and network design shape the usefulness of public transportation. The book provides a practical framework for understanding how transit connects people to jobs, services, and opportunities.
