This unique book addresses a wide range of issues and makes use of cutting-edge data to provide a set of universal tools to analyse and inform policy at all levels. It assumes only a basic knowledge of economics and will be essential reading for students at advanced undergraduate and postgraduate level following courses on transport economics, regional science, urban studies and geography. It will also prove a valuable source of reference for policymakers involved in the provision and regulation of transport and researchers interested in transport planning and policy.

Industry Reviews

"'This is by far, the best, most up-to-date, transportation economics textbook available today... The book provides excellent treatments of the standard topics in transportation economics (demand, costing, location, the economy), covering air as well as surface transportation modes... The book uses realistic, mode-specific, demand-and-supply curves to illustrate points rather than the usual abstract conceptual diagrams. The book also covers "the organization of supply" with excellent chapters on current issues in competition, industrial organization, and pricing, etc., in the (European) air, rail and trucking industries. The references, index, and quality of the printing, paper and biding are excellent... Highly recommended.' - D. Brand, Choice"
