<P><FONT size=2><FONT face=Arial size=3>Many thanks to everyone who participates
and makes sustran-discuss so useful. You are an amazing group.<BR><BR>It seems a
good time to make a little reminder: </FONT></FONT><FONT size=2><FONT
face=Arial size=3><STRONG>the sustran-discuss list has a focus mainly on urban
transport policy issues in countries with low to middle
incomes.</STRONG><BR><BR>We are not too rigid on this. The experience of
rich places can be relevant. There were some examples in the excellent
discussion on ownership issues prompted by Mumbai events. Some European examples
came up and it was appropriate.</FONT></FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial>Seattle's east side railroad in a suburban area in the
USA would be one example of a topic outside sustran-discuss's
focus.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial></FONT><FONT size=2><FONT face=Arial size=3>Thanks again
everyone for all your generosity in sharing your thoughts. Voices from the
'global South' are particularly welcome. <BR><BR>Paul<BR><BR>(co-manager of the

about about 450 people.<BR></FONT><BR></P></FONT></BODY></HTML>
