Abstract

Intermediate public transport paratransit unconventional forms of public transport, the unincorporated sector of public transport - these and other synonymous terms have been widely used to describe part of the road public transport sector which does not conform to the more familiar taxis and buses of the Western World. In this paper these types of public transport are distinguished very simply on the basis of whether they are providing a "taxi- like"service or a "bus- like" service. Vehicle types are compared within each classification and general comments made about the different roles that each category plays in urban transport.
