This paper focuses on a number of challenges faced by the public transport industry and the prospects for resolution. Many of the issues are often shrouded in ideology, politics and prejudices that typically cloud the real merits of a solution. We argue that public transport is increasingly a niche provider of land passenger transport services, which if positioned and managed better will be cap...

The paper reviews three issues: the nature of older people’s interaction with the transport system by gender; older people’s attitude to travel; and the involvement of older people as road traff...

Accessibility is commonly assessed using indicators calculated from spatial data. Comparatively perceived accessibility cannot be adequately reflected by these measures because it involves the perception to participate in spatially dispersed opportunities. This highlights need understand and consider for planning evaluation of transport systems a complementary perspective. Therefore, this study...
