Transport for Suburbia: Beyond the Automobile Age
This book offers a theory on how to properly build public transport in the suburbs.
It starts by pointing out the fallacy that low density is an insurmountable barrier to building decent public transport networks.
Mees then explains the real reasons that public transport is unpopular in the suburbs and what to do about it. (E.g. He insists on building multi-modal, high-frequency, integrated networks that remove barriers from transferring between vehicles.)
He also discusses the various public and private ownership, franchising and contracting models used around the world and evaluates the effectiveness of each.
Most examples in the book are taken from the Australian capital cities, Toronto and Zurich.
This book brings some fresh air to the discussion of providing effective and popular public transport service. I wish some of my local politicians would read this!
