[sustran] [sustran] integrated transport and paratransit

[ria hutabarat]

Hello

I'm doing some work on paratransit modes in developing world cities - things 
like rickshaws, pedicabs, jitneys and other unlicenced commercial passenger 
services.  The cities I'm particularly interested in are Jakarta, Lagos, 
Nairobi, Delhi (or another Indian city, I haven't really chosen that one 
yet), Istanbul, and also Manila and Bangkok.  And I'm looking at what these 
modes contribute to overall transport tasks and issues, who they're operated 
by, and who the users are...  Anyway, I was wondering if anyone knew of any 
surveys of these sorts of characteristics for paratransit services in 
developing world cities that I might be able to access?  I'm particularly 
interested in these cities but if there are surveys of other places I'd be 
interested in them too.

Also - Paula,
I was involved in drafting up an integrated transport and sustainable 
development policy thing for the Australian government last year - the 
department of transport and regional development.  We looked at several 
national integrated transport plans in Europe (including the UK White Paper 
on Integrated Transport; the US's TEA21; and lots of integrated transport 
plans and issues within Australia.  In the end the national policy idea was 
shelved for a few reasons, but some of the more well known plans around 
Australia include the integrated regional transport plan for south east 
queensland (http://www.transport.qld.gov.au/projects) and the 2010 plans for 
nsw and sydney (http://www.transport.nsw.gov.au/act2010/transindx.html).  
Hope that helps.

Cheers
