According to the study’s co-author Robert Stokes, coordinator of the Urban Environmental Studies Program at Drexel University in Philadelphia “Fixed rail transit systems provide a moderate public health benefit to users by creating more opportunity for walking in one’s daily commute”.

In this study almost 500 people were surveyed in Charlotte, N.C. and the time period was before and after the completion of light rail transit system in that area.

And after some discussion and survey results, it was concluded that “Providing smartly planned public transit options for fast-growing, sprawling metros can reduce the prevalence of obesity, which has been strongly related to time spent in one’s automobile”.

So this research was very useful for those people who are interested to burn up their calories and fats and get a slimmer body. For promoting transit travels the government should also bring such goodness and safety for transit that everyone would love to travel there.
