Abstract

In recent years a great deal of time and effort has been expended on the development of new modes of transport for cities. It is argued in this paper that this work is unlikely to be very productive because the major remaining flow in the provision of transportation services- the inability of one mode to provide a good service to concentrated and dispersed trip ends- seems unavoidable.
