And not only transit operations, but fixing transit vehicles too! He’s got chapters on the types of transit vehicles and how they work

Vukan Vuchic has done pretty much everything with transit. His work is amazing and comprehensive.

Exactly. A primer on infrastructure… to lay the path for future books 😉.

I didn’t. The book is only about how infrastructure works now, the engineering principles (e.g., how water is treated, what is traffic congestion). I cover 7 systems: water, wastewater, transport, electricity, gas, solid waste, and telecommunications. I don’t have anything about construction.
