Developing Countries Have Different Transportation Issues and
Requirements Than Developed Countries An efficient transportation
system is critical for a country's development. Yet cities in
developing countries are typically characterized by high-density
urban areas and poor public transport, as well as lack of proper
roads, parking facilities, road user discipline, and control of
land use, resulting in pollution, congestion, accidents, and a host
of other transportation problems. Public Transport Planning and
Management in Developing Countries examines the status of urban
transport in India and other developing countries. It explains the
principles of public transport planning and management that are
relevant and suitable for developing countries, addresses current
transportation system inefficiencies, explores the relationship
between mobility and accessibility, and analyzes the results for
future use. Considers Socioeconomic and Demographic Characteristics
It's projected that by 2030, developing nations will have more
vehicles than developed nations, and automated guided transit (AGT)
and other transport systems will soon be available in India. This
text compares five cities using specific indicators-urbanization,
population growth, vehicle ownership, and usage. It determines
demographic and economic changes in India, and examines how these
changes have impacted transportation demand and supply, transport
policy and regulations, and aspects of economics and finance
related to public transport. The authors emphasize preserving and
improving existing modes, efficient use of the public transport
management infrastructure, implementing proper planning measures,
and encouraging a shift towards sustainable modes. They also
discuss sustainability in terms of environment, energy, economic,
and land use perspectives and consider the trends of motorization,
vehicle growth, modal share, effects on mobility and environment,
and transport energy consumption and emissions. Public Transport
Planning and Management in Developing Countries addresses the
growing resource needs and economics of public transport in
developing countries, explains various aspects of public transport
planning and management, and provides readers with a basic
understanding of both urban and rural public transport planning and
management in developing countries.
