Assessment of Different Imple ementation Models for BRTS

PUBLIC Delayed implementation High cost of project nefficient operations (monopoly) Non-viable (service quality deterioration)

Govt. creates infrastructure while bus oper rators invest in buses Govt. takes guarantee of other services Efficient bus operations Proper regulation can lead to sustainable operations o

VATISATION OF ALL ELEMENTS Timely construction Project Costs could be high Monopoly -may may harm public interest Low level of service / high fare may lead to fall in rider ship Critical city y level network in p private hands may m y create issues of integration, g monopoly p y commercial rights etc.

Conclusion and Key Lessons

Ahmedabad BRTS is su uccessfully using a numbe of PPP formats in infras structure and bus provisio The journey so far has h thrown up some ke lessons :

Indigenous and city spe ecific model of PPP needs to b evolved. l d While entire project p j may y not lend itself to PPP unbundled projects suc ch as FOB may find application. Institutional Capacity to t monitor and supervise nee augmentation.
