Transport Economics: Journeying through the Economics of Mobility, A Guide to Transport Economics

It was in 1959 that the American economist John R. Meyer established the field of economics known as transport economics. This subfield of economics focuses on the distribution of resources within the transportation industry. It is closely connected to the field of civil engineering. The assumption of a spaceless and instantaneous economy is not valid in the field of transport economics, which is one of the most notable differences between it and other subfields of economics. There are specific speeds at which people and products move via networks. It is at its peak. The purchasing of tickets in advance is frequently prompted by reduced prices. Whether or not the networks themselves are competitive is a matter of opinion. The combination of services offered by multiple companies, agencies, and means of transportation may be necessary for a single journey.
