The text is well balanced with coverage of both theoretical management and its practical application in the transportation sector. Up-to-date case studies illustrate key issues in an accessible manner, and each chapter ends with discussion questions relating to the key issues covered.

Reviews
...This is an excellent book. It brings together in one volume everything a transport manager needs to know about economics and management science...No other book covers this ground, and even in the specific transport economics area no book is so up to date or thorough. * Professor Chris Nash, Institue for Transport Studies, University of Leeds *
...up-to-date with current policy and illustrated with contemporary case studies...I shall now turn to this book as a primary source when faced with the task of getting an understanding of elements of transport economics. I recommend this book to other teachers, researchers, consultants and students as well as managers as an up-to-date and authoritative source. * Saad Yousif, Lecturer at the University of Salford, Division of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Salford University *
