Efficient self-organization of informal public transport networks
K. M. Mittal, M. Timme, et al.
This groundbreaking study reveals that informal public transport networks in the Global South can outperform formal systems in the Global North. Conducted by Kush Mohan Mittal, Marc Timme, and Malte Schröder, the research attributes the efficiency of over 7000 bus routes in 36 cities to better self-organization, fewer detours, and comparable interconnectivity—all without significant subsidies. This challenges traditional perceptions and promotes the potential for sustainable transport solutions.
