Public Transport Issues explores the complex world of urban mobility, focusing on challenges within global public transportation systems. It examines the intersection of urban planning, social equity, and transportation policy, revealing how decisions impact accessibility, especially for vulnerable populations. Interestingly, seemingly well-intentioned urban development policies can inadvertently worsen transportation disparities, leading to negative social, economic, and environmental outcomes. The book analyzes public transportation usage, ridership data, and demographic trends to highlight inequalities in access across different socioeconomic groups. It reveals how factors like service frequency and fare structures affect ridership and passenger satisfaction. Presenting information through a mixed-methods approach, the investigation incorporates quantitative and qualitative data to understand the complexities of transportation planning. Divided into three parts, the book begins with an overview of urban planning principles and their historical evolution, then analyzes public transportation usage statistics, and concludes with evidence-based solutions for improving transport systems. Through data-driven insights, the authors advocate for informed transportation policies that enhance accessibility, reduce congestion, and promote sustainability. This approach distinguishes the book as a valuable resource for policymakers, urban planners, and anyone invested in creating more equitable and sustainable cities.
