This third edition of Applied Transport Economics has been completely revised and updated to cover the latest developments and thinking in transport economics. Professor Stuart Cole examines the application of economics techniques first to commercial transport operations, and second to public policy issues such as investment, integrated transport and competition, and third to the role of transport in its wider economic context. The style and approach, which proved so popular in the first two editions has been retained. This approach provides a transport economics text book for a) managers who are not familiar with economics techniques, b) students preparing for examinations in transport and other areas of business and public policy where an applied approach to economics is required, and c) economists entering the transport field. Fully and extensively updated throughout, this third edition will contain: *new information on SE Asia and Eastern Europe *updated and extended case studies *a new bibliography; *an extended further reading section.
The book's approach is to begin with the practical managerial issue, and then look at examples, case studies and make suggestions. Cole also discusses the principles and theoretical concepts in varying degrees of depth where necessary.

I am witnessing the collective few become, and overcome, the collective many, and a changing tide of humanity is sweeping across a region, that will affect, not only them, but the rest of the world. How? I have my theories, but let the future answer that, and then, let history question it. My story is also of change; I wanted to change the person I had become; a tormented alcoholic and drug addict and a lot of what that kind of life style brings. After a phone call to my father, my story continues on from my last book, Two Years, from the last few months in prison, to coming home, exploring, and putt...
