Current Readings in Transport Economics Vol.5, No.1, 2007

From this issue’s selection, I particularly recommend to you the two provocative short articles from Todd Litman and David Hensher, published side by side in the “Topical Issues” section of Transport Policy, Vol.14/1, 2007. Taken together they present quite different perspectives on the relative merits of rail and bus based public transport.
