The transportation sector in Australia: economic issues and challenges

David Hensher

Transport Policy, 1993, vol. 1, issue 1, 49-67

Abstract: This paper discusses a number of initiatives undertaken in Australia to improve the efficiency of the transport sector, long recognized as one of the most inefficient links in the economic cycle of production, distribution and consumption. We use examples of practice in government trading enterprises (rail, bus, ports, airports), as well as private sector benchmarks (private bus and trucking). The paper also outlines some of the topical issues such as the 'blind' commitment to light rail, road-user charges, safety and truck driving hours, and the future of our cities.
