Transport Economists’ Group
Formed in 1973, the Group provides a forum for people involved in transport economics to meet regularly and discuss matters of mutual interest. Membership is open to both economists working in transport and all others whose work is connected with transport economics. The aim of the Group is to improve the quality of transport management, planning and decision making by promoting lectures, discussions and publications related to the economics of transport and of the environment within which the industry functions.
Meeting Wednesday 26 November 2025 at 18:00 to 19:30 GMT
Martin Kerridge will speak on Myths of (Transport) Economics – why they matter and why we need a rethink.
Martin is a long standing member of TEG, with experience in both bus and rail, in local government, and as a transport economics consultant for over 50 years, largely related to road, rail or multimodal transport, in many countries. He started in the early days of cost-benefit analysis for transport projects, and wonders why so little has changed, despite the evidence that quite a lot should.
