Modular agile transit (MAT) is a conceptual framework for public transportation that integrates modular vehicle technology with agile operational strategies to enhance flexibility, efficiency, and responsiveness in urban and suburban transit systems. The term combines "modular," referring to vehicles composed of interchangeable units, and "agile," a principle borrowed from software development emphasizing adaptability and iterative improvement. While not yet a standardized system, MAT represents an emerging idea in transportation research to address challenges such as fluctuating demand, first- and last-mile connectivity, environmental sustainability, and the inefficient use of urban space historically dictated by traditional transit infrastructure.
