Movement of People: The challenges with the Last Mile regarding public transit is transit agencies failure to plan out major transit stops with major destinations. Major destinations maybe a tourist attraction, employer, or residential neighborhoods. The Census Bureau finds that 46% of public transit commuters prefer to take buses over other forms of transportation… however transit stops require commuters to walk the first or last leg of their trip. The problem with walking is if the transit stop is more then ¼ mile away, nor the First/Last Mile, commuters may opt to not use public infrastructure.
