A growing number of cities in the developing world are recognising the benefits of increasing government involvement in the provision of public transport services. Governments can determine the quality of public transport service their city needs without having to assume the burdens of operating the system. They can drive the modernisation of existing bus companies or the transition from entirely informal public transport operators into fully modern bus companies.
The Quick Guide to Bus Sector Modernisation Publication is intended for governments that want to take more responsibility over the public transport services being operated in their cities: in particular, cities where the bus systems are currently informal and unregulated.
