The market structure is set out, together with data collection methods. The technology of bus and rail systems is introduced with particular reference to peak capacity and energy consumption. An analysis of cost structures and costing methods leads into a review of pricing concepts and their application. In addition to issues related to urban systems, specific chapters cover rural public transport and the long-distance sector. A concluding chapter examines long-run policy issues, such as likely population changes and scope for substitution of travel. The primary context taken is that of the British Isles, drawing extensively on data such as the National Travel Survey in England. However, the principles and findings are also broadly applicable to countries of similar per capita income and population density. This sixth edition introduces a new chapter on data collection and survey methods for public transport systems in addition to a general update of the text to reflect the latest statistical evidence, research findings and policy changes. Public Transport is an essential textbook for both students in transport and those in related fields. This is an invaluable resource for transport planners in local authorities and consultancies. 410 0$aNatural and built environment series. 606 $aTransportation and state$zGreat Britain 606 $apublic transport$9eng$2eurovoc 606 $aUnited Kingdom$9eng$2eurovoc 606 $aregional transport$9eng$2eurovoc 606 $arail transport$9eng$2eurovoc 606 $aroad transport$9eng$2eurovoc 615 0$aTransportation and state 615 $apublic transport 615 $aUnited Kingdom 615 $aregional transport 615 $arail transport 615 $aroad transport 676 $a388.068/4 676 $a388.0684 686 $a48.60.12$2EP-CLASS 700 $aWhite$b Peter$f1948-,$0993239 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910155124103321 996 $aPublic transport$92274306 997 $aUNINA
