Transport and the Public

Originally published in 1935 at a time when the First World War had brought about massive economic and social change which had repercussions for transport, this book examines all forms of transport planning in relation to economics, sociology and town planning as well as Britain's place and operational abilities in international markets. Topics which are still debated today, such as privatization versus nationalization are also discussed.
