Current Readings in Transport Economics Vol.6, No.3, 2008 “Thredbo past, Thredbo future”: the Thredbo series of conferences has established itself as a key forum for debating issues in land passenger transport economics. See the link to Research in Transportation Economics Vol.22, below, for the top work from Thredbo 10; and start planning now to attend Thredbo 11 in Delft in September 2009 (information below). I hope to meet some CRTE readers there. Chris Pringle Publisher c.pringle@elsevier.com
