Understanding Challenges and Opportunities for Implementing ‘Route Allocation’ in Lusaka’s Bus Transport System

Overview

The report provides an analysis of the current urban public transport system focussing on intra-city transport in Zambia, Lusaka in particular. The report uses some of the data from the Competition Reforms in Key Markets for Enhancing Social and Economic Welfare (CREW) project to describe the status quo of public transport system in the capital city highlighting various issues such as availability, safety and quality of public transport to mention a few. Using in-depth interviews conducted with relevant stakeholders involved in public transportation, the report further highlights the need for working around some of the impediments in the public transport system brought out in the CREW study through the introduction of route rationalisation.
