The best use of a rapid mass transit system is as a macro and regional commuting mode, not micro. But, it must provide a substantial enough service area to offer a wide variety of immediate destinations, as well as to offer easy system access. Drivers frequently point to the independence an automobile affords the user as its greatest benefit. Providing detailed access to destinations, the combination of automobiles and roads delivers users conveniently from one doorstep to another. But when many autos with different detailed destinations funnel into a common roadway, leaving the micro commute to begin a macro commute, congestion can occur. Use of a convenient transit system best serves this common commute. A combination of transportation modes can best serve the individual and alleviate traffic congestion. Whether through the rental of station cars or the availability of shuttle vans to provide the final micro commute to destinations from transit stations, a system must provide a complete commuting solution.
