    gbv_1802579567
    Format: 1 Online-Ressource
    Series Statement: Other Urban Study
    Content: This report aims to advance the understanding of how to improve urban mobility in cities in SSA through building incrementally on the existing paratransit sector, informed by innovative data techniques and data-driven diagnostics. It is based on assessments of paratransit undertaken in Gaborone and Maseru, the capital cities and main economic centers of Botswana and Lesotho respectively; and aims to identity short-term, practical initiatives to improve mobility in these cities. This report summarizes the outcome of an in-field data collection in the project cities; documents paratransit sector assessment to deepen the understanding of mobility demand, constraints and conditions, and the operating environment and issues faced by the paratransit sector within the cities of Maseru and Gaborone; and proposes recommendations in policy, regulations, infrastructure and services in consideration of the local context

    Market Analysis on Financial Sustainability and Commercial Viability of BRTs in Sub-Saharan Africa (2021)

    Series Statement: Sub-Saharan Africa Transport Policy Program Papers
    Content: Over the past decade, Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) has been seen to offer an effective solution to the transport challenges faced in many cities in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), as a mass transit system which can deliver capacity matching that of urban rail systems, with the potential to be delivered more rapidly and at relatively lower cost. While urban transport infrastructure has traditionally been financed by the public sector, there is increasing interest from SSA governments in engaging the private sector to support the delivery of BRT schemes. However, despite the private sector has expressed interest for investment, the mobilization of private sector capital has been slow and difficult. The objective of this study is to undertake a systematic sector market analysis of BRT schemes in Sub-Saharan Africa from the perspective of the private sector, to understand the thinking and experience of private sector stakeholders participating in BRT schemes. The study also explores the reasons behind the hesitancy shown in this context by private investors. This report of the study comprises two main parts: (1) a desktop overview of the current commercial and financial landscape of BRT and urban transport financing in SSA, identifying current financing schemes and investors at presence or with interest; and (2) a market assessment of investors' appetite for BRTs, and their risk analysis, based on responses to a survey questionnaire and interviews

    Enhancing Financial Sustainability and Commercial Viability of Bus Rapid Transits in Sub Saharan Africa : The Factor Analysis Report (2021)

    Series Statement: Sub-Saharan Africa Transport Policy Program Papers
    Content: Rapid urbanization and urban population growth are placing increasing pressure on the transport systems of Sub Saharan Africa (SSA) cities. In response, major cities in the region have implemented or are in the process of implementing bus rapid transit (BRT) systems, which is seen as an affordable way to address the mobility challenges. To enable a financially sustainable BRT system and mobilize private capital more efficiently, it is critical for SSA governments to have an in-depth understanding and comprehensive assessment of these factors to develop contextually appropriate, effective solutions. This study aims to assist both public and private sector stakeholders to enhance the financial sustainability and commercial viability of BRT systems in SSA by: (i) identifying, framing, and analyzing the key factors influencing the financial sustainability and commercial viability of SSA BRTs; and (ii) developing a robust analytical tool to guide a high-level assessment of the factors influencing the financial sustainability and commercial viability of SSA BRT systems. The study was conducted in five stages: (1) project inception, (2) desktop review, (3) stakeholder engagement, (4) factor identification and analysis, and (5) assessment tool development. Chapter one introduces the objectives and context of the project. Chapters two and three capture key findings for several major BRT initiatives, in particular in Cape Town (South Africa), George (South Africa), and Dar es Salaam (Tanzania), providing a basis for the characterization of challenges and factors that impact financial sustainability and commercial viability. Chapter four articulates nine fundamental factors and their associated key actions and recommendations to enhance BRTs' financial sustainability and commercial viability. Finally, chapter five provides a user guide for the factor assessment tool that should be used by decision makers when exploring the possibility of developing BRTs as an urban mobility solution
