Homepage Manual Contents Navigation

Excerpt from: Bicycle Reference Manual for Developing Countries. Edited by Barbara Gruehl Kipke, April 1991.

Abstract

This report describes intermediate forms of urban transport in Jakarta Saigon and Penang, with the emphasis on those modes which appear to be of particular technological or sociological significance. Descriptions of the vehicles and the organisational structures are included, together with data on operating costs and charges. The report highlights both the variety of forms of intermediate transport which exist in Asia, and the rapidity with which these systems can be transformed as conditions change.
