Mass Transit:
Washington DC and Manhattan have great transit systems. Yet congestion is high. Parking is horrible in the cities and at remote train stations.
Needed are
- Feeder networks to existing trains
- Networks where there are no current facilities
- More capacity without consuming real estate
- Capacity that does not compete in the same plane as existing capacity
Just-in-Time, Deming's focus on the quality, Kanban, Lean Manufacturing solved similar problems in Mass Production
Apply lessons of manufacturing productivity gains to Mass Transit
- Focus on the quality of the trip
- Stream resource to need
- Simplify processes
- Empower people to control their trip
JPods supports solving current transit need for capacity and distribution.
