SITUATION OF LOCAL PUBLIC PASSENGER TRANSPORT IN THE WORLD

Fred C. Pampel

Open publisher page 1 citations

Abstract

The author, 1982 president of the International Union of Public Transport (UITP), made this presentation in Brazil where he outlined the principal aspects of a global view of transit. The form of public transport and its importance in different nationas are determined by supply and demand, by the financing processes, and by the local organizations responsible. After discussing these and others factors, the future is examined. While transit plans for developing and industrialized nations require somewhat different approaches, a goal for either would be preservation of city centers. Operational provisions must be made for public transit in land-use planning. Extensions of existing transit systems, rather than building new ones, should always be given major consideration. And government policy should assure the financial health of the transit enterprises.
