'A highly readable but challenging perspective on the established conventions of transport policy, planning and economic appraisal ... a fascinating tour d'horizon of topical transport issues.' David Quarmby CBE, chairman of the Independent Transport Commission 'David Metz again challenges conventional thinking in transport through a fundamental reinterpretation of the limits of travel time and human mobility, arguing that there should be maximum limits set for mobility if we are to avoid unacceptable environmental damage.' David Banister, professor of transport studies, Oxford University 'The first book to address the links between why we travel, how we travel, and the environmental impacts of our actions that will ultimately limit our travel. The arguments in the book challenge conventional transport economics and policy, and ... will stimulate debate about both transport policy and the future contribution of travel to global warming.' International Centre for Trade and Sustainable Development
