[sustran] Private Sector Involvement in Public Transport Infrastructure?

[Joshua Nelson]

All,

I'm a graduate student at MIT working with Professor Chris Zegras.  We're
updating a module from GTZ about private participation in urban transport
infrastructure.  In the update we would like to include examples of privately
funded public transport infrastructure projects in Asia, especially China.  We
are aware of the BTS SkyTrain in Bangkok, but would like to broaden our scope. 
If anyone has knowledge of any additional private sector public transport
infrastructure projects in Asia or could point us toward colleagues who may
have information to share, it would be much appreciated.

As an aside, we are also looking for specific information to update a section in
the module on private road infrastructure projects in Bangkok.  This section is
current up to the year 2000; developments since then are of much interest.

Thank you for your assistance.

Sincerely,
