LIGHT TRANSIT SYSTEMS

Light transit systems are becoming increasingly popular and are likely to be a major factor in reducing traffic congestion and pollution in cities. Already 40 cities in Britain alone are considering, planning or currently running light rail transit. Eminent contributors provide lucid commentary on funding, engineering feasibility, public consultation, environmental impact, safety, legal aspects and operation, drawing on experience in Europe, Tyne and Wear, and London's docklands.
