Transport Economics

Transport Economics, 4th Edition, applies economic analysis to transport issues. Kenneth Button examines transport demand and supply in general terms without favoring any single mode.

Core discussions address direct costs, external economic effects, pricing principles, and methods of government intervention intended to achieve social and environmental objectives. The textbook also explores approaches to optimizing traffic congestion.

Written primarily for university students, the textbook remains accessible to policymakers, practitioners, and non-specialists. Theoretical concepts throughout the work are reinforced by empirical evidence collected from diverse international sources.
