	Online TDM Encyclopedia - Public Transit Improvements
		Transit service is generally subsidized (see discussion of costs and subsidies in Transit Evaluation), but these subsidies decline with increased ridership because transit services tend to experience economies of scale (a 10% increase in capacity increases costs by less than 10%).
		Transit improvements often require public subsidies, but these are often comparable or smaller than subsidies for automobile travel when all costs are considered (Transportation Costs).
		Transit planning should be integrated with land use planning, pedestrian and cycling improvements (for access to transit stops) and TDM programs that provide incentives to use public transit.
