Publisher's Synopsis
This book explores the architectural, graphic and industrial design aspects of the best new transit architecture from around the world. Public transport facilities have become important civic landmarks, often serving as identifiers for the cities where they are located, or delineating areas and districts. Presenting a variety of projects, including subways, buses, light rail systems, trams and other modes of transport, the title shows the gamut of modern transport design, re-examining everything from the layout of complex intermodal transit stations to paving details at suburban rail stops, signage, street furniture and the interior details of vehicles.
