Reforming Transport Pricing in the European Union

Edited by Bruno De Borger and Stef Proost

in Books from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This timely book deals with the problem of pricing passenger and freight transportation within Europe. The contributors argue that current legislation affecting pricing and regulation is increasingly less successful in dealing with market failures and externalities such as congestion, air pollution, noise and accidents. Technological progress and greater European co-operation has brought increased scope for the reform of transport policies.
