Reforming Urban Bus Services - Policy Paper EBRD
Bus services dominate our public transport systems, particularly in emerging economies, due to their cost effectiveness and adaptability, as well as the ease of reallocation and reconfiguration of bus fleets to respond to changing service requirements.
However, cities are facing intensified calls to reform their bus services to provide high-quality, safe public transport services for their users and address environmental challenges, notably congestion and air pollution.This bus sector reform policy paper is for city authorities who seek to transform bus services in response to user expectations and environmental challenges. It builds on experience from cities in emerging markets and on proceedings of the bus sector reform seminar held at the EBRD in London in July 2017.
