Abstract:

The Transport and Road Research Laboratory carried out a study of the changing patterns of urban travel for the European Conference of Ministers of Transport. This study examined the various factors that affect the use of public and private transport in cities and concluded that public transport would ultimately decline even in those countries where its use was currently rising. In contrast the factors that favor car use were likely to continue to do so well into the future. In this paper the implications of those findings and some of the options available to policy makers are examined.
