Welcome to the World of Sustainable Travel: Explore Terence P. O’Halloran’s “TAKEN FOR A RIDE”
Hello to all!
Everyone around the world agrees that urban pollution is one of the most common problems that needs to be considered on an international level. But we can’t deny the fact that the transportation industry has spent billions of dollars just to experience a revolutionary change in the overall infrastructure—but all went in vain due to various voids in the transportation systems.
Believe it or not, we are on the verge of enduring something that has never been explained in such an interesting manner with several decades of research—how to make travel sustainable. We may say that the travel industry is at the crossroads of a radical shift, but Terence P. O’Halloran’s “TAKEN FOR A RIDE” is here to guide the way. The book enlightens an aspect that has been overlooked to some extent – the urban pollution caused by passenger-carrying vehicles (PCVs). This book offers a great pathway to understanding the social, economic, and environmental challenges of transitioning to sustainable transportation systems.
This book is for those who want to live in clean cities. It provides an in-depth analysis of the European urban transport policies implemented in the region. Terence Patrick is ready to unveil a detailed and latest breakdown of the transportation strategies that are causing people to lose their lives. This is because of the negative impacts of public transport on the environment.
Let’s unfold the actual reason for the discourse done in this ground-breaking read – i.e. financial planning of public transport. An apprentice-trained engineer and an experienced Chartered Financial Planner, Terence P. O’Halloran, focuses on giving remedial actions for the increasing air pollution despite looking back over figures.

TAKEN FOR A RIDE – A Book that Matters in 2024
Within the metropolitan centers, we see an increasing urgency for more clean ways to run public transport. Due to the critical outcomes of rising pollution, people are more aware of the flaws of different modes of transportation. This issue has the same intensity worldwide, which needs a proper analysis of the systems we have and how we can replace the transport that is not appropriate for the environment. Halloran’s book sheds light on a variety of features related to public transport and their impact on the environment. But the most consequential element of this book is its approach toward addressing the replacement of diesel-powered PCVs with environmentally friendly and cost-effective alternatives.
The author chooses the 2013 European Urban Transport Report as the focal point for this comprehensive exploration while giving his perspective on establishing such projects that are practically possible and worthwhile. This book draws upon the pivotal findings of the European Report while comparing its conclusions with costings and perspectives in 2024.
Whether you’re a policymaker, an environmentalist, or an advocate for clean and greener cities, this book will be a great turning point in terms of getting authentic and essential information regarding urban public transport. The book states that two major components are crucial to look for: the implementation costs and the project benefits. What makes this book a must-read is that it examines both components while offering a clear, actionable framework for driving change.
About The Book
taken for a ride
The central objective throughout this work is the successful progression and environmental advancement to establish clean air in metropolitan centres where, per force, transport systems converge and with that convergence air pollution increases. Given that as a fact, the concentration of evidence and acceptability takes the 2013 European urban transport report as a focal point to work from. The focus of that report is the replacement of diesel engine power for People Carrying Vehicles (PCVs), previously known as public service vehicles (PSVs) with an alternative cleaner means of propulsion for buses.
