The development of rural public transport in Britain is described and the elements which make up the rural public transport 'problem' are discussed. The legislative background to local authorities' involvement with the definition of transport 'needs' is reviewed and an Appendix briefly summarizes the approach adopted by each English and Welsh Shire county. The relevance and definition of needs are considered and a number of important studies of the subject are described. It is concluded that a needs-based approach to the provision of public transport and the allocation of transport subsidies in rural areas is not inconsistent with an economic evaluation framework. Such an approach offers advantages over an approach based on an analysis of current demand.
