Transit-related crime in suburban areas

Article Abstract:

Extension of rail transit to suburban areas may cause a temporary increase in crime. The extension of rail transit of the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority in June 1993 caused an initial increase in crime in the Kensington and Indian Creek, Georgia, areas. The increase in crime rate was more apparent in Kensington due to the concentration of commercial activities there. However, the incidents decrease over time due to effective policing and lack of attractive opportunities. Since the study reveals that increase in crime rate is short-lived, expansion of transit railways remain justified.

TECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATION AND THE RISE AND FALL OF URBAN MASS TRANSIT

Article Abstract:

Urban mass transit did not principally decline because of the private automobile. Until the late 19th century, most people living in cities traveled principally on foot. Horse-drawn streetcars appeared in the 1870s in many cities. The most significant groups creating conflicting demands on the transit industry were the riders, politicians, business interests, employees, and investors.
