Must have for all transport planners

I had referred this book in 1995 during my post-graduate dissertation on "Busway Transit for Ahmedabad (India)". I feel it is the only book on earth that covers all the aspects related to mass transit technology and planning. Beautiful photographs and illustrations. A must have book for all planners. Bhargav Adhvaryu (Engineer-Urban/Transport Planner)

Thorough and invaluable

Indespensible tool of any transportation professional, be it an engineer or a planner. Still seems current even though it was written almost 20 years ago. Excellent diagrams and a highly in-depth look at transit modes

Excellent book which is very logically done.

Dr. Vuchic does an incredible job of covering urban transit and the varieties of it in the world. While showing its age with parts getting dated, the book still offers sound planning advice in a comprehensive manner. It is a must for the urban planner.
