Abstract

The mechanism of change in society is discussed in terms of power and interest groups, and some of the past changes in transport technology are examined in terms of the degree of threat posed to the established order and the interest groups benefiting from change. On the basis of such a power/benefit model, three of the new transport technologies which have been proposed ? ?guideway?, ?dial?a?bus? and ?network cab?, are discussed as to their likely social and political acceptability.
