| book description |

Drawing on a wide variety of historical and media sources, this book tells the story of Londonâ€™s transport during an unexplored era in a novel way. It takes the passengersâ€™ perspective to explain fares, services and competitors through a new, accessible and challenging set of arguments, describing the usersâ€™ experience. To do that, the book approaches Londonâ€™s commuters in the three ways that they have been seen by providers and politicians: as passive passengers, recipients of a service designed for them by experts; as active citizens, prepared to be directly involved in running a municipal system; and as discerning customers with choices about how, where and when they travel. The 1948â€“2000 period saw these viewpoints move in and out of fashion, and since each was intrinsically linked to politics and represented a complete prescription for how a transport system should work, the clashes were dramatic and had palpable effects on the daily experience of millions of people. Here James Fowler explains what ensued on Londonâ€™s transport, why it happened, and how the hard lessons for Transport for Londonâ€™s later success were learned in the preceding decades.
