At a time when transport is high on the political agenda and
government decision-making is being vigorously scrutinised, there
is a need for an incisive and accessible analysis of the key policy
issues. This book is a highly readable introduction to the
transport debate from two experts in the field. The authors
celebrate the advantages of a modern transport system, but argue
that years of poorly conceived and executed transport policy have
resulted in Britain's transport system being far worse than it
should be. They show that a substandard transport system creates
economic, social and environmental costs, but demonstrate how these
can be addressed through affordable and politically deliverable
changes. Using a refreshingly novel approach, Shaw and Docherty use
the familiar idea of the journey as the basis for their discussion.
The book follows members of the Smith family as they uncover a wide
array of transport issues, including why the problems we all
encounter as we travel around actually come about; which policy
trade-offs were responsible for creating them in the first place;
what impacts we all have to suffer as a result; and what we can do
to fix them. This lively and engaging approach will make the book
ideal for a wide readership.
