The Routledge Handbook of Public Transport is a reference work of chapters providing in-depth examination of the current issues and future developments facing public transport.
Chapters in this book are dedicated to specific key topics, identifying the challenges therein and pointing to emerging areas of research and concern. The content is written by an international group of expert contributors and is enhanced through contributions from practitioners to deliver a broader perspective. The Handbook deals with public transport policy context, modal settings, public transport environment, public transport delivery issues, smart card data for planning and the future of public transport.
This comprehensive reference work will be a vital source for academics, researchers and transport practitioners in public transport management, transport policy and transport planning.

Corinne Mulley was the inaugural Chair of Public Transport at the Institute of Transport and Logistics Studies at the University of Sydney. She is now Professor Emerita at the University of Sydney and Honorary Professor at Aberdeen University. Corinne is a transport economist and is active in transport research at the interface of transport policy and economics, in particular on issues relating to public transport. She has provided both practical and strategic advice on transport evaluation, including economic impact analysis, benchmarking, rural transport issues and public transport management. Corinnes research is motivated by a need to provide evidence for policy initiatives, and she has been involved in such research at local, state/regional, national/federal and European levels.
John D. Nelson is Chair in Public Transport at the Institute of Transport and Logistics Studies (ITLS), University of Sydney, which he joined in 2019 from the University of Aberdeen, where he was Sixth Century Chair in Transport Studies and Director of the Centre for Transport Research. Before moving to Aberdeen in 2007, he was Professor of Public Transport Systems at Newcastle University, UK. John is particularly interested in the application and evaluation of new technologies to improve transport systems (with a particular focus on public transport and shared transport solutions) as well as the policy frameworks and regulatory regimes necessary to achieve sustainable mobility. He is Series Editor for Routledges Transport and Mobility and Transport and Society book series and recently edited a special issue on the future of public transport for Research in Transportation Business and Management.
Stephen Ison is Professor of Air Transport Policy within Leicester Castle Business School at De Montfort University, Leicester, UK.
