Competition in Urban Passenger Transport in the Developing World

Abstract

This paper reviews Michael Beesley's commitment to economic liberalisation, and how that is being applied in transitional and developing countries, with a particular, though not exclusive, focus on buses. Critical issues, such as operator behaviour and efficiency, modal co-ordination, and service to the poor, are identified. The complexities of imposing regulatory economic strategies where local government is weak and technical expertise inadequate are discussed. © The London School of Economics and the University of Bath 2001
