Opis

By combining focus groups and interviews with innovative research techniques, this book provides insights into the daily experiences of those using the British transport system. It examines the complexities of travel among different social groups and makes a compelling case that transport-related social exclusion has been neglected by policy makers and puts forward suggestions for best case practice for the future.

Recenzje

'The links between transport and social inclusion/exclusion have become of great interest to policy makers and academics alike. Through the use of detailed case studies based on an innovative multi-method approach and an emphasis on small scale interventions and their everyday consequences, this volume is vital reading for anyone wishing to make sense of the complex issues involved.' John Preston, University of Southampton, UK
