Organisation, Regulation and Efficiency of Public Transport

John Austin's background in Economics enables him to develop work in this field. Particular interests are:

• The effects of Regulation and Pricing
  Whilst not a main focus, this topic is emerging as one of many relevant factors in our work within PROCEED.
  

• Organisational and Structural Barriers to the Delivery of Successful Integrated Transport
  
  Insight into this has come through our work in ATLANTIC, Transport Direct, Traveline, and Public Transport Information Strategies
  
  Plus, through John's Churchill Fellowship study-trip to Hong Kong, Singapore and Australia.
  

• Planning, Financing and Business Cases for Public Transport Infrastructure and Revenue Expenditure
  
  Project areas that have covered this topic, to varying degrees, include Light Rail, Bus Rapid Transit, Real-Time Information, Traveline, Transport Direct, Local Transport Plans and Performance Analysis.
