Transit Dependency in Riamo
Transit Dependency is a situation by which a resident of a city is directly, or indirectly, forced to make use of urban transportation in order to participate in social gatherings or take active part on the societal activities encompassing daily life.
People in the transit-dependent market have no personal transportation, no access to such transportation, or are unable to drive. Included are those with low incomes, the disabled, elderly, children, families whose travel needs cannot be met with only one car, and those who opt not to own personal transportation.[1]
Associated Issues
The situation of transit dependency has become a long-lasting issue engrained deep into the Riamese society, specially with the popularization of the Ferrier System of urban development that came to be popularized across the Riamese Empire and afterwards. The model, which initially started as an attempt to seek greener, less poluted, walkability-friendly cities, at cost of expanding transit authorities to cover more than just the direct operations of the urban transit, eventually morphed into a buy-cheap-rent-later business model.
The model, which was quickly popularized across the nation because of its initial marvelous benefits, would derive into widespread urban housing issues across Riamo and even former colonies like Gassasinia[2] which adopted the system.
