Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nutley argues that transport policy in the UK has suffered from a lack of consensus since 1945, and that its development has been frustrated by periodic reorganizations under political direction that favors private transportation (the official view being that public transportation is a financial burden rather than an essential piece of social infrastructure). He outlines progress and setbacks, and makes recommendations for future developments to meet the public's needs. Book club price, $57. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
