Abstract

The paper seeks to make an inter-disciplinary exploration of the development of bus passenger transport systems. Three perspectives drawn from the field of development studies are used to suggest possible theoretical frameworks. The historical patterns of the development of such systems in Britain, Uganda, and India are considered. The major features which pattern the development of the road passenger transport industry seem to be the creation of various degrees of monopoly which in turn is related to the kind of state in which the network is located.
