This book argues that the secret of 'European-style' public transport lies in a generalizable model of network planning that has worked in places as diverse as rural Switzerland, the Brazilian city of Curitiba, and the Canadian cities of Toronto and Vancouver. It shows how this model can be adapted to suburban, exurban, and even rural areas to provide a genuine alternative to the car, and outlines the governance, funding, and service planning policies that underpin the success of the world's best public transport systems.
