[sustran] Re: Taipei as a before and after study?

[Eric Bruun]

Jason

I would love to see the paper, but let me make a suggestion.

Rather than receive a lot of individual requests for the paper, you might try posting it for downloading
on a website. Then people can retrieve it without bothering you.

Thanks,
Eric Bruun

Subject: Re: [sustran] Taipei as a before and after study?

Dear Colleagues,

As an advisor to mayor of Taipei in the past ten Years, I will be
pleased to provide more information related to Taipei. Mayors of Taipei
have accepted our suggestion of seting up a sustainable development
goal that 60% of commuting trips will be contributed by public
transport (metro, BRT, and conventional bus) by the end of 2006! I am
drafting a paper to introduce the transition from a car-oriented city
into a transit-oriented city in Taipei! Please do let me know if you
would like to see the paper.
