The need for effective public transport is greater than ever in
the twenty-first century. With countries like China and India
moving towards mass-automobility, we face the prospects of an
environmental and urban health disaster unless alternatives are
found. It is time to move beyond the automobile age. But while
public transport has worked well in the dense cores of some big
cities, the problem is that most residents of developed countries
now live in dispersed suburbs and smaller cities and towns. These
places usually have little or no public transport, and most
transport commentators have given up on the task of changing this:
it all seems too hard.
Transport for Surburbia argues that the secret of
'European-style' public transport lies in a generalizable model of
network planning that has worked in places as diverse as rural
Switzerland, the Brazilian city of Curitiba and the Canadian cities
of Toronto and Vancouver. It shows how this model can be adapted to
suburban, exurban and even rural areas to provide a genuine
alternative to the car, and outlines the governance, funding and
service planning policies that underpin the success of the world's
best public transport systems.
