A Billion Trips a Day: Tradition and Transition in European Travel
Patterns consists of twenty-four original chapters developed by a
network of transport professionals in a coordinated manner. The
three parts of the book are: European Mobility Patterns; Dimensions
of European Mobility, and National Perspectives. Mobility in
fourteen countries is described and ten chapters of analysis
compare the major dimensions of travel across Europe, which is seen
as a laboratory for transport policies. A Billion Trips a Day:
Tradition and Transition in European Travel Patterns questions the
uniqueness of European travel and transport policies and
demonstrates that, in many ways, Europe is different from other
developed economies. However, there are side dissimilarities within
Europe. The authors take a deep look at the underlying factors
which affect travel behavior, with the objective of providing the
necessary information for policy making. The comparative chapters
of Part II provide an analysis based on national perspectives of
the role of the time dimension travel; automobile ownership and
use; commuting; public transport; and international travel. They
also review the transport policies applied in Europe, explaining
why some policies work in some places, while failing in others.
