#12: Nicholas Bloom: The Great American Transit Disaster (Interview)


Listen Later

Welcome to the Blip Report's Interview Series! My guest today is Professor Nicholas Bloom, author of "The Great American Transit Disaster: A Century of Austerity, Auto-Centric Planning, and White Flight."

If you are wondering why there aren’t more transit options in America besides a personal car that sits 90% of its life, requires insurance, gas, maintenance, and for 40% of Americans, have to make high monthly payments on, well, this interview might reveal just how we got here.
