Assisting Transition to Better Bus Transport Regulation in Select Countries2015

Overview

This purpose of this paper is to act as a reference for policymakers and implementers to better understand the good practices in urban bus transport reforms. The need for developing this paper was felt in the Diagnostic Phase (Phase I) of the project under which this discussion paper has been made. The primary objective of the CREW project is to demonstrate the benefits of competition reforms for consumers and producers, so that greater attention and support is provided by the policymakers. With scarce resources, policymakers worldwide are faced with the challenge of deciding where to allocate the resources in a manner that will maximise the net welfare gains of the population.
