"Covers the planning of public transport systems (bus, coach, rail, taxi and domestic air travel) in Britain and other countries with similar systems. This book also examines the differing needs of the urban, rural and long distance markets. It emphasizes on service quality and marketing issues."@en
"Widened in scope and completely updated, this new edition of a well-established textbook provides an authoritative introduction to all modes of public transport; from taxis and local buses to intercity rail, domestic air and express coach. The principal emphasis is on the urban and regional market sector, with separate coverage given of rural and long-distance issues. The latest changes in organisation and legislation are covered, together with current polices issues in Britain and similar countries, such as bus deregulation and rail privatisation. Extensive use is made of the National Travel Survey and operator data to describe the present market structure. The technology of bus and rail systems is described. Network structures and their relationship with urban form are reviewed, leading to an examination of pricing policies in which particular emphasis is given to forms such as the travelcard as well as conventional cash fare systems. Sources of evidence and references for further reading are given in each chapter. The concluding chapter examines long-run policy issues and developments likely to influence the role of public transport in the near future, including the British government's Ten Year Plan for 2000-2010, global warming and the role of the European Union in transport. This book serves as a textbook for both specialist students in transport and those in related fields - such as planning, geography, civil engineering and business students - taking optional courses in transport. Any reader concerned with transport as a policy issue will find the book useful as a contemporary account of a crucial dimension of any advanced economy."

"'Public Transport' is a comprehensive textbook covering the planning of all public transport systems in Britain and other countries with similar systems."

"Widened in scope and completely updated, this new edition of a well established textbook provides an authoritative introduction to all modes of public transport: bus, coach, metro, rail and domestic air. Current technology is reviewed and developments likely to affect operational performance are identified. Network planning techniques, and the relationship between public transport systems and urban structure, are critically examined. Costing techniques are described, followed by a review of pricing techniques, with particular references to innovations such as the travelcard. Most public transport use is concentrated within urban areas, but specific attention is also given to issues affecting rural areas and the inter-city sector. Recent policy experience in Britain is reviewed, with particular reference to the effects of deregulation and restructuring during the 1980s."
