There are several sources listed at bottom of article, but most are not _about_ the "Modular agile transit" ... most of the sources simply support individual facts stated in the article (but the sources do not mention the M.A.T.).

*'''Delete''' Honestly surprised to see such a poor article from such a long-time editor. Cite 1 has the wrong DOI# but should link to [https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0968090X22000729], which is a computer model about modular vehicles but is not about "agile" transit or an actual system. 2 is some totally irrelevant software source, 3 is about carsharing not transit, 4 seems relevant but is also just a model, 5 has a title that's merely about electric buses but the DOI link goes to something else, 6 seems relevant but is also just a computer model and does not use "agile", 7 is a good book but irrelevant, and 8 is also irrelevant. So the article is a lot of fluff, unsourced statements, and ref-bomb material. What is going on here? Like I understand what the article's getting at, but since it's just a research concept I agree with nom that this reads as a student article rather than something that should have a standalone page.

*:The faulty citations are characteristic of LLM output. With that in mind, I have to wonder if the rest of the article is LLM-generated as well. [[User:Omphalographer|Omphalographer]] ([[User talk:Omphalographer|talk]]) 01:38, 19 May 2025 (UTC)
*::Yes, I was thinking the same for this author's [[Repast (funeral)]], which I also AFDed.<span id="Reywas92:1747664917200:WikipediaFTTCLNArticles_for_deletion/Modular_agile_transit" class="FTTCmt"> [[User:Reywas92|Reywas92]]<sup>[[User talk:Reywas92|Talk]]</sup> 14:28, 19 May 2025 (UTC)</span>
* '''Keep''' – As the article’s primary author, I appreciate the feedback in this AfD and have significantly revised the article to address the raised concerns. The original version was overly complex and included some irrelevant sources, which I acknowledge made it read like a promotional piece. I have rewritten it into a concise Start-class article, focusing only on the core concept of modular transit supported by two peer-reviewed sources directly discussing the topic. These sources establish notability per [[WP:GNG]] by providing significant coverage of modular transit systems in reputable journals (Transportation Research Parts C and A). I've removed unsourced claims, bullet points, and promotional language to comply with [[WP:NPOV]] and [[WP:MOS]] and clarified that MAT is a research concept, not a product, addressing concerns about its "evolving notion" status. While not a deployed system, the concept’s coverage in academic literature makes it encyclopedic, similar to other research-stage transport concepts like [[Hyperloop]]. I'm open to further suggestions for improvement. [[User:Whoisjohngalt|Whoisjohngalt]] ([[User talk:Whoisjohngalt|talk]]) 16:09, 20 May 2025 (UTC)
**Thank you for eliminating the fluff, unsourced content, and ref-bomb sources. But as I implied there's now not enough content or sources to justify a standalone article on simply a research concept. Since both sources are about autonomous transit, [[Vehicular automation#Buses]] seems like a better place for a couple sentences to include the primary sources.<span id="Reywas92:1747761214366:WikipediaFTTCLNArticles_for_deletion/Modular_agile_transit" class="FTTCmt"> [[User:Reywas92|Reywas92]]<sup>[[User talk:Reywas92|Talk]]</sup> 17:13, 20 May 2025 (UTC)</span>
