Optimising urban public transport regulation in Pakistan: The Faisalabad NGO model

In: Third world planning review: TWPR, Band 21, Heft 1, S. 63-81

Abstract

In Faisalabad, Pakistan, the government has channelled the regulation of urban public transport through a non-governmental organisation. The Faisalabad Urban Transport Society (FUTS) provides a regulatory alternative to direct government control. In 1994, it assumed responsibility for services and fares. This paper analyses the services offered under both regimes. (DSE/DÜI)
