Abstract

Urban public transportation systems cannot be viewed in the same way as the many other commercial activities prevalent in major towns and cities. They form a mainstay of transportation policy, operating under the pressure of limited urban space. In order to fulfil their role, the organization, management and funding of urban transportation systems necessitate a close working partnership between government and transportation operator(s). The range of transportation modes in service should be appropriate to both urban planning and local economies.
