		It also ensures that the development of the public transport sector is and remains sustainable in terms of its social, economic and environmental impact.

		Where the public transport undertaking is responsible for organising services adapted to mobility-impaired people, or for collaborating with associations for mobility-impaired and other interested bodies in their provision, the financial responsibility for these services and their adequate infrastructure must not rest only with the public transport undertakings.

		As the major professional association for urban, suburban and regional passenger public transport in Europe, UITP is particularly concerned by the growing gap in research efforts between the private car industry and public transport modes.
		Although urban public transport has numerous advantages over the private car – including low space consumption and the promotion of social cohesion - the attractiveness of car ownership and use is increasing every day.
		Indeed, numerous transport research issues require an integrated multimodal approach of urban, suburban and regional public transport, in particular as regards research into relations with customers.

	Transport: we mustn't miss this very fast bus - Opinion - smh.com.au
		There is an urgent need to set aside dedicated roads or land parcels for bus rapid transport to achieve its potential, remembering that the width of a right of way required for bus rapid transport is far less than for railways, not only in the central business district but across the Sydney network.
		All of this support for public transport must be part of a large package in which we consider ways of financing improved public transport, and a good start is to learn from the experiences of London and Stockholm, where congestion charging schemes are in place.
		Over 30 per cent of commuters who were previously car users now use public transport, continuing car users see benefits in improved travel times and, most importantly, the politicians have earned respect for taking such an initiative.

		A vast majority of the population in Africa does not have access to individual means of motorised transport, and therefore is dependent on walking, cycling or collective transport for its journeys.
		Affordable public transport is crucial to the process of poverty alleviation: it provides access for all to livelihood (job opportunities and markets) and urban services (health, education, nutrition programmes and social services).
		In other words public transport is an essential prerequisite to fulfilling some of the key commitments laid out in the G8 Africa Action Plan; notably to foster trade, investment, economic growth and sustainable development.

		As the G8 2005 is focusing on the eradication of extreme poverty in Africa, the International Association of Public Transport (UITP) and its African Division - UATP - took this opportunity to send a letter to G8 leaders to draw their attention to the key role that public transport plays in poverty alleviation.
		To give you an example which clearly illustrates how accessible public transport could be a decisive lever for African society, a domestic worker in Abidjan earns 45000 FCFA a month and one bus ticket for the same period costs 15000 FCFA.
		This means that affordable and efficient public transport is crucial to the process of poverty alleviation by fostering social and economic inclusion.
