How 5G Could Make Transportation Smarter, Safer, and Savvier

In a blog post from November 2019, Arielle Fleisher, transportation policy director for SPUR (the San Francisco Bay Area Planning and Urban Research Association), called for new ways of thinking about public transit. "Transit doesn't have to stay exactly as it is today," Fleisher wrote. "The world has changed in ways that should impact transit design: Virtually every person has a device that shares their location in real time. This alone begs for innovation and experimentation in the transit sector. We need to embrace a larger view of what transportation is for and who it serves."
