INTERCITY PASSENGER TRANSPORT IN EUROPE AND NORTH AMERICA

LES TRANSPORTS INTERURBAINS DE VOYAGEURS EN EUROPE ET EN AMERIQUE DU NORD

Intercity passenger transport in North America is based on the use of the most expensive techniques (aircraft and automobile) while in Europe the Railway has to some extent retained its importance. The various modes of public transport are described as regards their organisation, their role and tariff system. The contrasts between operating conditions in the two continents are emphasized. The various differences between the transport systems are then reviewed.
