Reviews

'This is by far, the best, most up-to-date, transportation economics textbook available today... The book provides excellent treatments of the standard topics in transportation economics (demand, costing, location, the economy), covering air as well as surface transportation modes... The book uses realistic, mode-specific, demand-and-supply curves to illustrate points rather than the usual abstract conceptual diagrams. The book also covers the organization of supply with excellent chapters on current issues in competition, industrial organization, and pricing, etc., in the (European) air, rail and trucking industries. The references, index, and quality of the printing, paper and biding are excellent... Highly recommended.' - D. Brand, Choice
