Handbook of Public Transport Research

Edited by Graham Currie, Professor of Public Transport, Public Transport Research Group, Institute of Transport Studies, Department of Civil Engineering, Monash University, Australia

'The Handbook is a cogent and comprehensive overview of research issues and opportunities that characterize public transport. The research areas provide insightful perspectives drawing on international experiences in operations, planning, policy and governance with a look to future trends and developments. The Handbook is a timely resource for practitioners and academics who wish to better understand the complexities intrinsic to public transport and the importance and role of research in identifying fresh ideas and solutions to help advance the state of the industry for operators and decision makers.'
