Many developing countries are attempting to expand and upgrade their public transport systems to create sustainable solutions within the constraints of poor land use and urban planning, haphazard growth of settlements, high population and population density, growing income, and increased travel demand. This text explains the principles of public transport planning and management that are relevant and suitable for developing countries. It covers both urban and rural public transport planning and management, as well as aspects of economics and finance related to public transport.
