Abstract
This volume of Research in Transportation Economics collects the workshop reports as well as the best papers presented at the 15th International Conference on Competition and Ownership in Land Passenger Transport (the Thredbo Series) held in Stockholm, Sweden in 2017. The 15th conference in the series followed in the footsteps of previous conferences by bringing together academics, government officials, consultants, policy makers, politicians, students and public transport operators to review trends in ownership and competition issues in public transport. It was attended by a record number of well over 200 delegates from 31 countries and involved 130 papers. The conference included eight workshops (of which one was split in two). For the first time, the theme of Mobility as a Service had its own workshop.
