The book reveals the topic of interaction between the state and business in the sphere of urban passenger transport. Using the example of significant organizational reforms of the past, which sometimes strengthened the role of the state, sometimes opened the industry to market forces, it tells how modern ideas about the regulation of passenger transportation were formed. Various cases are considered in detail: from the 17th to the 21st century, from London and Stockholm to Santiago and Nairobi, from the decisions of Baron Osman and Margaret Thatcher to the initiatives of members of the Moscow government. The book is based on an extensive base of literary sources and professional experience. It will be of interest to specialists and students in the fields of urban transport, urban studies and state and municipal administration.
