Policy and Planning as Public Choice: Mass Transit in the United StatesAshgate, 1999 - 282 pages Under a public choice analytical framework, this book applies formal economic measures to the passenger and taxpayer benefits of public transit service in the United States. Approximately 400 local transit budgets have been renewed annually for more than 25 years. These budgets epitomize Braybrooke and Linblom's concept of disjointed incrementation and Buchanan's concept of public choice since local legislators funded transit despite constant academic criticism of transit performance. |
