Abstract
If a serious decline in urban transport services is to be avoided, utilizing existing resources more efficiently is clearly necessary. While this is desirable for developed countries it is absolutely essential for the less developed. The prime example of the application of the urban transport systems approach is the Government of Pakistan's five year Model Urban Transport Systems Project in Lahore, Pakistan, where a comprehensive "turn-key" project is being carried out. Now in its second year this project promises to provide a significant test of this approach.
