“The transport debate is a fluent easy entry into the world of transport specialists…a hugely valuable up-to-date reference tool – a must-read for students, policy wonks and the wider public.” Jim Steer, President of the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport, and Founder/Director of Steer Davies Gleave
"A good introduction to transport in the UK...Planners and policymakers could benefit from considering the ideas put forward, and the text will provide a good starting point for student seminar discussions." Urban Studies Journal
"This 'helicopter' tour of what works and what does not work in transport policy in the UK and elsewhere provides a very readable and riveting account of action and inaction, as seen through the experiences of the authors' own fictional characters Motorway Man and his family." David Banister, University of Oxford
“This latest book from Shaw and Docherty is their best yet and a must-read for anyone who is interested in UK transport policy. They are a breath of fresh air and their work is fun to read.” David Begg, Chief Executive of Transport Times and former chairman of the Commission for Integrated Transport
