The Commuter, the Car and Metropolitan Wellington

The rise and decline of public transport.

This book is a 1970s case history of government decision-making in the face of transport innovation and urban growth and change.

'This enjoyable and excellent book, the first to be published by the Victoria University of Wellington, sets a very high standard and if all future publications match this one in quality then success for the venture is assured. The book should be essential reading for all students of government, planning and transport in New Zealand.' —R. Smyth, Town Planning Quarterly (1973)
