摘要近年来，西方城市的交通规划者对“非常规”公共交通的试验和应用表现出越来越大的兴趣，以探索在传统的铁路或公共汽车服务被认为不可行或不经济的情况下提供公共交通服务的方法。英国在城市和农村地区开展了各种试验性服务。也许强调后者，例如在政府支持下推出的RUTEX非传统试验性服务方案。然而，这种系统的乘客人数很少，在城市地区每天只有数百人，在农村地区每天只有数十人。许多西方的交通规划者似乎没有意识到，或者选择忽视这样一个事实，即大多数发展中国家有各种各样的公共交通系统，有些每天运送数百万乘客。一般来说，这些系统都是“刚刚成长”，而不是从...
Abstract In recent years, transport planners in western cities have shown increasing interest in the testing and application of ‘unconventional’ public transport, to explore means of providing public transport services in those situations where it is not considered to be practicable or economic to operate conventional rail or stage carriage bus services. Various experimental services have been introduced in both urban and rural areas, the U.K. perhaps emphasizing the latter, as exemplified by the RUTEX programme of unconventional, experimental services, introduced with Government support. Ridership on such systems is, however, very small, often measured only in hundreds per day in urban areas and in tens per day in rural areas. Many western transport planners seem not to be aware, or choose to ignore, the fact that most developing countries have a variety of public transport systems, some carrying passengers numbered in millions per day. Generally these systems have ‘just grown’, rather than resulting fro...
