International Conference on Competition and
Ownership
in Land Passenger Transport
The Thredbo Series
The Thredbo Series has
been held biennially since the first conference in Thredbo, Australia in
1989. The objective of the conference series is to provide an international
forum to examine passenger transport competition and ownership issues,
reporting on recent research and experience and developing conclusions on
key issues. The focus is on determining the effects of different forms of
competition, ownership and organisation for land-based passenger transport
on operators, users, governments / funders and society as a whole. The
conference series is directed towards a broad audience of policy makers,
planners, decision makers on infrastructure and service operators,
consultants, researchers, academics and students, and is recognised as one
of the most important international forums for analysis and debate of
competition and ownership issues in land passenger transport. The conference
typically features plenary sessions over four days and a series of intensive
workshops based around keynote papers and a series of resource papers
providing a range of international perspectives on each issue. There is a
strong emphasis on what policy lessons can be learnt from recent experience
internationally and what issues warrant further investigation.
Leading up to
the 8th conference, the international steering committee decided it was time
to expose the intellectual and policy contributions that have characterized
the Thredbo series over the last 15 years. This book was the first in an
ongoing series sharing the international influence of the papers,
deliberations and workshop reports from the series. The books from the 8th
and 9th conferences are available to purchase from Elsevier, details of
these publications are available by following the links below. Papers from
the 6th and 7th conferences are available to download from this website
following the links given below.
