2012 
Prevailing urban transport system in megacities is a combined result of dynamic interaction of institutions; the society’s evolving need in mobility brought about by their changing physical, social, economic, and political environments; and the advancement in technology. The development of urban transport in different cities involved a process of modernization and adaptation. European and American cities, which followed similar patterns of urban transport development up to the early twentieth century, pursued quite different policy directions in the late twentieth century. Asian cities, on the other hand, followed a trend of adaptation in the past but gradually moved to locally adaptable systems.
