	Transport Economics & Sector Policy: Urban Policy Reform
		Public transport is one part of the total transport facilities of urban areas, which should be carefully co-ordinated to ensure the best overall use of resources.
		First, there is the issue of the contribution of public transport to the reduction of road congestion which may be a justification for provision of priorities in the use of infrastructure, or even subsidy, for public transport as a whole (though never on a discriminatory or open ended basis for public sector suppliers).
		Transport commercialization can also have potentially harmful effects insofar as it leads to increases in fares and hence a shift to the more environmentally damaging automobile.

		The Transport Economics dissertation provides a capstone experience, which requires students to complete an extended piece of research work; this develops the students’ ability to apply economic analysis to real world problems and data.

	CENTER FOR MARITIME ECONOMICS & LOGISTICS (MEL)
		Transport infrastructure, including ports, has been invariably considered by governments and local authorities as a growth-pole for regional and national development.
		Contributing factors to these changes are globalisation, the advent of intermodality and an increasingly stronger voice for sustainable transport systems, able to contain transport externalities such as this of congestion and environmental pollution.
		As a result, transport planning and development require the use of accurate and scientific models and the objective evaluation of the costs, benefits and other impacts of transport infrastructure development.

	»»transport-economics Reviews««
		This is one of the most insightful and provocative books I have ever read on the subject of Transport de-regulation, its place, its politics, and the effects of market forces in today's industrialised societies.
		I am not a specialist, but the subject of urban and transportation studies has always fascinated me, and I have read Richmond's passionate account of the struggle over public transport in various American cities with great pleasure.
		I want to add to the other reviewers' discussion of the academic merits of the book that I was personally moved by the book's ending, where the author shifts gears and calls upon all sides of the conflict to think about common good, and to be decent rather than ruthless towards one another.

		It covers various aspects of transport network reliability, such as definitions and methodological developments for reliability indices, behavioural analysis under uncertainty, evaluation methods for the disaster resistance of transport networks, and simulation/observation of travel time reliability.
		The issues addressed in the book is not the reliability of individual network components, like bridges or tunnels, which is of course an interesting topic in its own right, but rather the reliability of the network as a whole when parts of it are not performing well.
		The transport networks of large conurbation's are constantly subjected to disruptions due to accidents, road or rail works, adverse weather, building works, demonstrations, terrorist incidents, etc. The book deals with crucial issues relating to the measurement of reliability, traveler decision-making under uncertainty, the provision of information to travelers, and design of transportation networks.
