Rail demand management: a rapid systematic review

Train overcrowding has been associated with a number of negative outcomes, including psychological and physiological stress, negative health effects and behavioural reactions, as well as spillover effects. Despite the widely admitted seriousness of this issue, there is little agreement on the appro...
