Book review: Transport - An Economics and Management Perspective

Kept at an executive level, Transport: An Economics and Management Perspective by David A. Hensher and Ann M. Brewer delves just deep enough for you to grasp the various concepts of transport planning, where costs occur and how to maximise benefits in both the public and the private transport sector. You will enjoy this book even more if you have some macro-economical background, nevertheless it never goes into complex formulas or calculations.

Cons

None. Well, perhaps just a little bit too much on the managerial side, without getting into the nitty gritty of day to day operations.

Pros

It is meant to be a textbook, and every chapter concludes with a number of questions for discussion, which is very helpful in seeing how the concepts inn each chapter can be applied.
