Current Readings in Transport Economics Vol.6, No.2, 2008

Planes, Buses and Automobiles

With an article on ports as well, a healthy range of transport modes is represented in this issue. Mindful of the continuing topicality of congestion charging (New York recently rejecting a congestion pricing plan, Manchester deciding to seek approval for one), we bring you a paper on scenarios for Paris; and not one but two articles on value of time.

Read them all – it will be time well spent!
