The Balance of Public and Private Transportation

What Is The Balance of Public and Private Transportation?

Yago (1983) emphasizes that a growing body of evidence in organizational studies, urban political economy, and urban history indicates that historically derived institutional processes in the economic and political organization of transportation appear to affect its relationship to urban growth. The timing, industrial composition, internal class relations, and economic concentration of transportation industries appear to affect transportation's form and function in metropolitan regions (Yago, 1983). Similarly, the timing, content, and structure of the institutionalization of governmental intervention in transportation planning and policy establish the balance of public and private transportation in the urban system (Yago, 1983).
