Book Tool Kit for Public   Private Partnerships in Urban Bus Transport for the State of Maharashtra  India

Download or read book Tool Kit for Public Private Partnerships in Urban Bus Transport for the State of Maharashtra India written by Anouj Mehta and published by Asian Development Bank. This book was released on 2011-05-01 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Public–private partnerships (PPPs) have been proven to catalyze both investments, for bridging investment gaps and improving efficiencies in delivery of services. The Government of India (GOI) and the Asian Development Bank (ADB), through a pioneering PPP Initiative "Mainstreaming PPPs in India," have therefore been supporting selected state PPP cells in creating an enabling environment by developing capacities, facilities, and PPP model structures for specific sectors. Improvements in urban infrastructure both for enhancing the quality of life and for increased productivity are critical. Developing mass transit solutions for the urban population is especially a crucial element of this. The Urban Development Department of the Government of Maharashtra was therefore supported under the GOI–ADB PPP Initiative for identifying and developing possible PPP structures for urban bus transport-based solutions in four selected sample cities. Assessments of national and international best practices, local circumstances, and consultations with municipal and private stakeholders have led to this PPP tool kit. The tool kit should be useful for public entities in the State of Maharashtra for developing PPP-based projects in urban bus transport and could also provide a reference point for use in other cities, across the country, for project development.

Book Public Private Partnerships in Urban Bus Systems

Download or read book Public Private Partnerships in Urban Bus Systems written by Alejandro Hoyos Guerrero and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2021-06-25 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many cities have sought to replicate the urban bus public-private partnership (PPP) structures that succeeded at the beginning of the millennia, such as those implemented in Brazil, Colombia, and Mexico. These cities improved their public transportation systems in the face of rapid urbanization, rising air pollution, and increasing road safety incidents through these PPP interventions. Examining these past international experiences, and others, Public-Private Partnerships in Urban Bus Systems: An Analytical Framework for Project Identification and Preparation first challenges the assumption that PPP structures are always the optimal approach for improving urban bus systems. The authors use relevant case studies to demonstrate that structuring such PPPs in cities in the developing world requires tailor-made interventions that respond to local contexts. The authors identify essential elements for PPP feasibility and invite readers to consider alternative solutions for achieving the desired objectives. This book presents an analytical framework that public transportation practitioners can use to support the process of identifying and preparing appropriate technical, financial, and legal structures to improve urban mobility if a PPP is the preferred solution. It follows a detailed, risk-based approach to thoroughly analyze the challenges that might be experienced by cities that pursue private participation in proposed urban bus interventions. Using specific examples, the authors thoroughly analyze the risks and the specific potential planning-stage challenges likely to be encountered and suggest strategies for practitioners to respond to the local contexts and the various alternative solutions. This study builds upon international experiences, predominantly in Latin America and in PPPs focused on streamlining fleet provision and operation. Finally, the book helps to identify and defi ne bankable project structures that could respond well to local contexts and minimize risks.

Book Indore City Bus Transport Service  B

Download or read book Indore City Bus Transport Service B written by G. Raghuram and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Towards the end of 1990s, mounting losses forced the Madhya Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation (MPSRTC), the sole provider of public transport in the central Indian state of Madhya Pradesh, to suspend its urban transport services. As a consequence, organized public transport services ceased to exist in Indore, the largest metropolitan city in the state. This void was filled by the Intermediate Public Transport System (IPTS), consisting of minibuses, tempos and auto rickshaws. In January 2004, 300 private minibuses, 150 tempos, and 10,000 auto rickshaws were plying in the city under the IPTS.Worried over the rapid growth in the number of personalized vehicles and the high levels of pollution and accidents in Indore, policy makers and administrators made several attempts to revive the public transport system in the city, but with little success. They believed that the lack of public transportation was the catalyst for the increase in personalized vehicles, pollution levels and the number of accidents in the city.In 2005, the Collector and District Magistrate of Indore, Vivek Aggarwal, decided to make another attempt to revive the city's public transport system. This attempt was conceived as a public-private partnership (PPP), and the Indore City Transport Service Limited (ICTSL) was the special purpose vehicle (SPV) created to run the system. The two cases, Indore City Transport Service (A) and Indore City Transport Service (B), discuss the complexity involved in planning, rolling out and running a public transport service in Indore on a sustainable basis.Case (B) discusses the challenges ICTSL faced during the growth and operation of the service. An unprecedented rise in crude oil prices, along with: i) an increase in the maintenance cost of buses, the price of new buses and bank interest, and ii) a decrease/ marginal increase in fare box revenue (as more commuters shifted to monthly passes) and advertisement revenue, depleted bus operators' margins substantially. Further, there had been no increase in bus fare since the launch of the service in February 2006. ICTSL's chief executive, Chandramouli Shukla, was convinced that the company would survive only if the bus operators were able to survive. The readers have to take the position of the Board of Directors of ICTSL in June 2008 and consider the various options available to them for running the service on a sustainable basis.

Book Public   Private Partnership Monitor

Download or read book Public Private Partnership Monitor written by Asian Development Bank and published by Asian Development Bank. This book was released on 2021-07-01 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Government of Pakistan strongly supports public–private partnership (PPP) initiatives. From 1990 to 2019, Pakistan witnessed 108 financially closed PPP projects, with a total investment of approximately $28.4 billion. About 88% of these projects are in the energy sector, attracting more than $24.7billion, followed by investments in the port sector. In early 2021, Parliament approved the amendments to the 2017 PPP Law, enacting the Public Private Partnership Authority (Amendment) Act 2021. This further strengthens the enabling legal and regulatory framework for developing and implementing PPPs, thereby promoting private sector investment in public infrastructure and related services.
