Good Public Transport Network Design Principles (Part 5).
The aim of this 5 part series is to disseminate the concepts of urban transport planning. The need for such a series was felt after confusion reigned on social media during the great many debates that the road widening projects carried out by Infrastructure Malta ignited.
