This book reveals and discusses existing and potential problems derived from the transport economics domain in relation to their environment, and the social, political and economic impacts, with reference to a wide range of transport modes. It is suitable not only for academics or students, but also for people working in the transport industry. From this book, readers will learn how to apply economic principles to transport, drawing specifically upon a number of case studies of different areas of Great Britain. This book is particularly useful for those who are interested in the subject of transport economics, but may not have studied economics, statistics or mathematics.

A useful collection of concepts on transport economics for all of us that work in the transport field, and are not necessarily economists! Extensive coverage of all transport modes, with brief and effective examples and case studies. Well written, to the point and easy to understand. Especially recommended for students and early career researchers looking at transport issues. A nice addition to any library!
--Professor Maria Attard, University of Malta
A veritable collection of economic concepts and their application in transport - from demand and supply, elasticities and marginal cost to road pricing, cycling and airports - a primer for the transport economist in all of us.
--Dr Robin Hickman, UCL
This book provides rich stories of planning and management of air travel, shipping, railways, and urban transport, as well as transport and land use planning. Transport Economics Matters is a valuable foundation that we can use to analyse and understand transport policy and practise.
