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
