Transportation Economics and Policy,
By A Customer
This review is from: Essays in Transportation Economics and Policy: A Handbook in Honor of John R. Meyer (Paperback)
An excellent choice for anyone who is interested in transportation. The essays range from issues related to developing countries to those that are pertinent to the US. While this is not exactly a beginner's book it is very easy to read with some background in economics or engineering.

Too LATE,
This review is from: Essays in Transportation Economics and Policy: A Handbook in Honor of John R. Meyer (Paperback)
Did not receive book in time. When I ordered it was supposed to come in 2-3 days but later I go an e-mail from Amazon with estimated date of December 11-14. I was not happy and I ordered from one of your competitors who I could actually talk to on the phone.
