Transit Technology
7 Alternative bus fuels:
The search continues
An in-depth analysis of developments in CNG, LNG, ethanol, propane, and other alternatives to diesel fuel for transit buses.
Design for Transit
14 Transit centers:

Intermodal facilities at Philadelphia, Seattle, and Washington, D.C., offer markedly different examples of urban transportation schemes.
Transit Management
23 Design-build/turnkey:

Transit Technology
38 Vehicle standardization:

Water Transit
43 Manhattan ferries:

Financing Transit
49 Innovative financing:

Transit Technology
55 Signaling and train control:
