Urban Transport Issues Asia Blog (Singapore)

Thoughts on urban transport policy in Asia and the 'Global South' generally

A blog written from Singapore that covers urban transportation issues throughout Asia from Japan to Korea to Southeast Asia. Issues covered include public transport, sustainable transportation, the transport challenges of high density urban areas [paper ], increased ridership from integrating buses with subways, bicycling, and even walking. Includes links to many transportation policy sites and discussion lists in Asia. The blog author's personal page includes downloadable papers on these topics also. The author profile gives you an idea of the blog's approach to urban transportation:

I am an academic who researches urban transport policy. Cities fascinate me and my little contribution to trying to make them better is to work on understanding them and on making their urban transport less of a bane and more of a boon. I work at the LKY School of Public Policy in the National University of Singapore. Obviously I am speaking for myself while blogging and not for my employers. (Source)
