PASSENGER TRANSPORT: SHORT AND MEDIUM TERM CONSIDERATIONS

High proportion of passenger traffic moves by road. Traffic by road has been increasing in both volume and as a proportion of the total, and current forecasts envisage that these trends will continue, unless reversed as a result of action by central or local government authorities. This paper is in essence a survey of passenger traffics, their energy usage (illustrated by statistics some of which have not hitherto been generally available) and the bearing of these upon transport and energy policies.
