Although the term TOD has often been heard, it turns out that some people still do not fully understand the meaning of TOD. Simply put, transit oriented development (TOD) is a regional development concept that focuses on mass transit points, especially those that intersect with other transit networks.
TOD areas are also areas that prioritize pedestrians, cyclists and mass transit users.
