Cities must have freeway systems in order to facilitate movement of traffic; after city reaches certain size, however, it soon becomes apparent that freeways alone cannot solve transportation problem; only solution to this problem is to provide system of balanced transit; thus every large city that has expanded very rapidly -- Los Angeles, Houston, Atlanta, and many others -- should be planning or building balanced transit system, with railroad rapid transit (including suburban railroad service) as core, augmented by freeways for buses and private automobiles; paper describes various modes of transit and states benefits of balanced transit.
