The passenger transport theme of this review refers to all forms of the public and private transport of people, by air, land or water, whether scheduled or unscheduled, urban, rural, coastal, local, long distance or cross-border and involving one or more modes. Research relevant to the planning, organisation or operation of passenger transport modes is included. The research projects synthesised are EU-funded projects from the Fifth and the Sixth Framework Programmes that have results publicly available. Projects that had been reviewed in the related paper produced within the predecessor project EXTR@Web are briefly summarised. This latter paper also includes a selection of nationally funded projects. Five sub-themes (Sustainableintermodal passenger transport; Accessibility and comfort of public transport; Traffic management; Pedestrians and non-motorised transport; and Strategic planning and policy facilitation) are considered in the synthesis.
