Title: Challenges to Delivering Change Overnight: Bus Reform in Ulaanbaatar
Accession Number: 01631476
Record Type: Component
Abstract: This paper discusses the challenges to efficient public transport service provision in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, and the planning and implementation of the recent ‘Smart Bus’ reforms, to reflect on current public transport reform practices in cities in developing economies. Faced with deteriorating transport conditions, and lacking resources to move forward with desired mass public transport infrastructure investments, Ulaanbaatar opted to use the introduction of new technologies and regulatory reforms to catalyze improvements in service quality, financial management, and broader sector management. Based on two years of research and technical assistance efforts carried out by the World Bank in Ulaanbaatar, the general context of transport in Ulaanbaatar, the motivations and ultimate design of the reforms, and their early outcomes are presented.
Supplemental Notes: This paper was sponsored by TRB committee AP010 Standing Committee on Transit Management and Performance.
