Journal of Transport Economics and Policy, 2001, vol. 35, issue 1, 99-118

Abstract: This paper reviews Michael Beesley's commitment to economic liberalisation, and how that is being applied in transitional and developing countries, with a particular, though not exclusive, focus on buses. Critical issues, such as operator behaviour and efficiency, modal co-ordination, and service to the poor, are identified. The complexities of imposing regulatory economic strategies where local government is weak and technical expertise inadequate are discussed. © The London School of Economics and the University of Bath 2001
