	Urban Transport Strategy Review
		Its objectives are (a) to develop a better understanding of urban transport problems in developing and transitional economies, (b) to articulate an urban transport strategy framework for national and city governments, and (c) to identify the role of the World Bank in supporting governments.
		Improving efficiency in public transport must be concerned not only with keeping costs down but also with providing a flexible framework within which the less poor as well as the very poor can use public transport with confidence and comfort.
		A strategy for improvement of the effects that urban transport has on the environment is thus not a luxury to be afforded at the expense of poor people, but an important element of an urban transport strategy.

	Rail transport modelling Summary
		Even as transportation improvements accelerated through the twentieth century, the railroad still best symbolized the ability of mechanized invention to conquer distance; electric trains continue to epitomize this cultural belief in such technological progress.
		As model accuracy became more important some model systems adopted two rail power where the wheels were isolated from each other and the two rails carried the positive and negative supply or the two sides of the AC supply.
		Although DC power with the positive and negative charges on the two rails is the most common method of power, Märklin and Lionel use AC power on the three rail system.

		Part II examines the evolution of the railways under Margaret Thatcher from 1979 to 1989, a time when British Rail's management structure was radically transformed and its ancillary businesses were sold to the private sector, but the core railway business was still not threatened with privatisation.
		Part III examines the period from 1990 to 1994, when the government dithered on the question of privatising British Rail, and the British Rail Board further reorganised itself into a structure that it felt would be suitable for privatisation.

	City Mayors: Light rail transport - UK
		In its report, issued on 5 April 2005, the committee argued that the government’s use of such contracts had the effect that ‘operators have been left to bear all of the revenue risks, and have built risk premia into their bids’.
		Following the 1986 abolition of the Metropolitan Counties covering the largest cities of England, Passenger Transport Executives have been responsible for the building and upkeep of light rail systems.
		The number of light rail systems in England’s cities is comparatively small compared to continental Europe due to its local government system not allowing cities the ability to borrow or take risks on such schemes.

	BNR Consulting - Economics, Demand Analysis, Transport Planning, Market Research
		It is possible that some models for other public transport could be used on the railway, but models for low frequency services are also scarce for other modes.
		The lack of evidence on low frequency services causes British Rail to suggest that for services with more than a train every three hours their standard service quality model (which has been designed for more frequent inter-city services) should be used to estimate responses to service changes.
		A means of establishing desired travel times by rail and predicting responses when the timetable comes close to these, is therefore important to help maximise revenue on secondary services thus postponing, or even cancelling closure.
