Artificial intelligence, or AI, technology has already made its way into public transit in some notable ways.

Quoted from a recent study, Steven Polzin, a research professor in the School of Sustainable Engineering and the Built Environment, part of the Fulton Schools, and director the TOMNET University Transportation Center, talks about what recent transit investment and ridership data indicates — or does not indicate — regarding adaptation of the latest technological advances across the overall transportation environment.
