Numerous books have been written which deal with transport problems
in developed and developing countries, and with the planning and
management of transport organisations in developed countries, but
none deals specifically with the planning, regulation, management
and control of public transport in developing countries. This book meets that need. It examines and explains the problems
and characteristics of public transport systems in developing
countries, and discusses the alternative modes, management methods,
and forms of ownership, control, regulation and funding, with
particular emphasis on what is appropriate at different stages of
development and for different cultural backgrounds. It deals with
urban, rural and long distance transport services, principally by
road. This emphasis reflects the magnitude of the urban transport
problem, and the predominance of road transport in most developing
countries. The planning of bus services, particularly in urban
areas, is covered in some detail, since this is often an area of
considerable weakness. Similarly, the management of transport
services and the maintenance of vehicles, including vehicle design
and transport fleet planning, are also dealt with in depth. The book is aimed at all those who are involved in the provision
of public transport in developing countries, including transport
planners, managers of transport undertakings, aid agency and
government officials responsible for the funding, provision or
regulation of transport, transport consultants and advisers, and in
particular students of transport or urban and rural affairs. Since
there is much in common between transport operations in the
developing world and indeveloped countries, this book should be of
interest to transport operators and planners everywhere.
