| Review: | This book concentrates on transport problems in developing countries where a high proportion of people depend on public transport and problems are more critical. In the twenty chapters the authors look at these problems and discusses alternative modes, management methods, and forms of ownership, control, and regulation and funding in the context of different stages of development, operating environments and cultural backgrounds. They also deal with both rural and urban transport systems and look at light rail transit, suburban and long-distance rail as well as bus and train services. The vehicles themselves and their maintenance are also included. |
