Review # 1 was written on 2020-08-16 00:00:00 Anthony Giorgio Read for MTM 250 - Transportation and the Environment class at SJSU. Read Ch. 4, 7, 8, 9, and parts of 11 and 12. Tone of this book was very frustrating'stayed very factual and did not convey much vision for how transportation could be in the future. Conveyed climate change as something that still is in debate. Gave the impression that public transportation systems are failures when they have to be subsidized. Maybe I'm used to reading justice and vision-oriented texts but this ultimate centrist one got me writing all sorts of snarky and critical notes. On the one positive side, this text made me consider the issue of freight transportation in a more wholistic way.

Review # 2 was written on 2018-07-21 00:00:00 Marc Tustin This is an interesting book I found online, while searching for something like future of transport. I found this a useful book in the fact it addresses multi-disciplinary nature of Transport systems and they way they are evolving and may evolve. The key issues in such a book will always be the needed depth in relevant areas - that of course depends upon the authors interests and expertise. Of course matching with readers interests and depths. Nevertheless, it is an interesting and important book for non-expert to contextualize the and understand transport systems.
