Reviews
I am not aware of a book written so well covering public transportation topics in developing countries I want to have this book on my shelf. Srinivas S. Pulugurtha, The University of North Carolina at Charlotte, USA The main strength of this book is its relevancy to the context of developing countries. Behavior of traffic and its planning for developing countries is substantially different compared to those for developed countries. So, this book focuses on this aspect primarily and discusses the policy that needs to be taken for developing countries. Including the aspects of economics and finance related to public transport further makes this book complete. Pranamesh Chakraborty, Assistant Professor, KIIT University, Bhubaneswar
