PROGRESS IN PLANNING URBAN PASSENGER TRANSIT IN AUSTRALASIA AND JAPAN

The authors present a state of the art report of research being carried out a Australasia and Japan in mid 1974 into innovation in public transport systems and coordination of urban public transport planning. The huge differences in scale, resource availability and tradition that separate Australasia and Japan were found to be reflected mainly in the progress made towards the development of public transit systems, rather than in the overall aims of the policies being adopted to combat urban transport problems. /TRRL/
