Chapter 5 in Financing European Transport Infrastructure, 1999, pp 125-154 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Around two-thirds of Europe’s population lives in towns with over 50 000 population, yet investment in public transport infrastructure is small, less than 10 per cent of total transport infrastructure investment. There are several reasons for this, including the small proportion of of public transport requiring reserved track, the sharing of rail track between suburban and long-distance services and the controversial nature of many new projects.
