Introduction
Buehler, R., & Pucher, J. (2012). Demand for Public Transport in Germany and the USA:
An Analysis of Rider Characteristics. Transport Reviews, 32(5), 541–567.
The paper” Demand for Public Transport” by Ralph Buehler And John Pucher offers
useful content on the subject of why public transport is a popular alternative for private
transportation. The authors provide an overview of the changing trends of public transport and its
demand from 1980 to 2010 in the USA and Germany. The article compares how and why public
transport has been more successful in Germany in terms of growth and expansion. It evaluates
the reasons behind the success of public transport in Germany and why a broader cross-section
of society feels motivated to use public transport. The article and its content would provide
useful information on how better supportive policies in Germany have encouraged the demand
and popularity of public transport usage. It is still a continuing struggle to make people aware of
the benefits of public transport in the USA and motivate them to adopt it.

Promoting the Use of Public Transport in Rural Areas. Transport Problems: An
International Scientific Journal, 10(4), 57–74.
Klementschitz & Roider provide useful insight into their article regarding the theoretical
and methodological urban problems over the last few decades. The article seeks to explain the
relationship between social inequalities and mobility behaviors. Social profiles such as
education, gender, social class, and age play a role in developing a certain perception of public
transport and its regular use. I find the article and its content useful to add to the subject of public
transport. There are examples and expert opinions that can be used in the project. There is a
fundamental need to reverse the attitude towards public transport with better policies and steps.

The public transport should be generalized in such a way that the private car is looked upon by
the users as a complementary way of adding to daily mobility.

Edition (Vol. Fourth edition). New York: The Guilford Press, 4(1), 1– 400.
Giuliano, & Hanson draw attention to the latest trends and topics in the field of public
transport. The urban populations are well aware of the transportation issues in modern urban
spaces. The coverage of the article focuses on the freight dynamics, passenger dynamics as well
as local and regional transportation planning process. Moreover, the authors question issues
related to public transit, social equity, and environmental justice, air pollution, transportation
finance, energy consumption, sustainability, and more. There are plenty of instructive figures and
color plates that enhance the understanding of the topic. The latest edition reflects on the policy
changes over the decade and emergent findings in the field regarding transportation planning and
travel behaviors. This article provides examples as well as the expert opinion that I can use in my
project. I can use the evidence provided in the article to support my claims about the current
awareness about public transportation.

William R. Black is a transport researcher and professor who carries complete authority
on the subject. His book ” Transportation: A Geographical Analysis” is a top rated analysis that
offers an authoritative introduction to transportation geography. I find the content of the book
useful for adding to the research topic s it carries insightful sections on the transportation
planning process and, its impact on the environment. The book examines transportation problems

and trends in the developed world from a contemporary perspective. I feel I could get a solid
grasp of the history and concepts of the field of public transport. This is a great and useful source
for getting an overview of the current public transportation problems policies and issues.
