Public transportation is the transport of passengers using group travel systems operating on established routes managed on a schedule for a fee. The public transport used globally includes passenger trains, city buses, trams, rapid transit, trolley buses and ferries. Between cities, travel can be accommodated by intercity rail, airlines and coaches. Public transport systems are characterized by set embarkation/disembarkation points and prearranged time tables. Public transport infrastructure is vital for the smooth transportation of people. This can be exclusive or shared with freight and private transport. This book provides comprehensive insights into the planning, operations and management of public transportation. It discusses the fundamentals as well as modern approaches of this area of study. For all readers who are interested in public transportation, the case studies included in this book will serve as an excellent guide to develop a comprehensive understanding.
