Ha Noi Metro Rail System Project (RRP VIE 40080) Ha Noi Metro Rail System Project (RRP VIE 40080) DEVELOPMENT COORDINATION A. Major Development Partners: Strategic Foci and Key Activities 1. In the transport sector, the Asian Development Bank (ADB) focuses on road, railway, and urban transport subsectors, and capacity development of the Ministry of Transport and its line agencies. ADB's major development partners are the World Bank, the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), the Australian Agency for International Development, Agence Française de Développement, and Korean Exim Bank. 2. The urban transport sector has been supported by ADB, the World Bank, and the European Investment Bank, as well as by bilateral aid from France, Germany, Japan, the Netherlands, the People’s Republic of China, and Spain, which have contributed to assist sector development. Major support for urban transport has focused on the road and urban rail subsectors (accounting for well over half of all assistance), with support also provided for other public transport and institutional capacity development. Assistance for urban public transport has included technical assistance (TA) and lending to the government, covering master plan development, bus and metro systems, the integration of multimodal infrastructure, and institutional reforms. 3. An urban transport master plan that guides all developments in public transport was developed1 in Ha Noi with assistance from the Japan Bank for International Cooperation, and approved by the Prime Minister in 2008. Currently, four priority metro lines are being prepared and are expected to be operational in 2017–2018. ADB will provide $293 million for the metro line 3 project, with cofinancing of $563 million from DGTresor, Agence Française de Développement, and the European Investment Bank. A second phase of metro lines (either new lines or priority line extensions) will commence around 2016; these lines are expected to be operational by 2025. As a result, over half of the total network will be established by 2025, thereby providing the main backbone of an integrated multimodal network in Ha Noi. Under phase 2, ADB is expected to either cofinance the extension of metro line 3 or to work with the Government of Japan for the development of the second stage of metro line 1 or 2 extension. 4. The ADB loan for metro line 3 in 2011 will be complemented by a major integrated sustainable urban transport study, under a separate loan in 2012, that will further develop the Ha Noi public transport system through: (i) demand forecasting and integrated fares and ticketing, (ii) bus restructuring and intermodal facilities, and (iii) sustainable transport policy developments. ADB, with cofinancing under the Clean Technology Fund, will further support the development of an integrated public transport system through the Strengthening Sustainable Urban Transport for Ha Noi Metro Project that will ensure (i) bus and other services connect well to stations, (ii) metro stations are well integrated, and (iii) necessary policy measures are implemented to both promote public transport and discourage private transport modes. 5. TA in support of urban public transport has focused on developing operation and maintenance entities for metro systems; developing integrated stations, capacity building and support for metro implementation; developing a public transport authority in Ha Noi; and facilitating public–private participation in urban transport. Lending has supported the development of seven metro lines, four in Ha Noi and three in Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC), and two bus rapid transit lines in Ha Noi. Most assistance has been provided for Ha Noi or HCMC, but some assistance is provided in the larger secondary cities of Hai Phong and Da Nang. 1 JICA. 2007.

Sources: ADB, JICA, and World Bank publications. B. Institutional Arrangements and Processes for Development Coordination 6. The annual consultative group meetings, which are co-chaired by Ministry of Planning and Investment and the World Bank, are the main platform for the government and development partners to review progress and issues related to socioeconomic development and official development assistance. Transport partnership group meetings, organized by JICA, are held every 6 months to discuss development issues in the transport sector. The medium- to long- term transport strategies of the government and its development partners have been discussed in recent group meetings, with members agreeing that Viet Nam faces a large financing gap in meeting urgent transport sector needs, which are required to sustain its socioeconomic development. 7. Urban transport is coordinated through city people’s committees, which are responsible for transport within city limits. In the two major cities, Ha Noi and HCMC, other central government departments2 have planning and implementation control of major infrastructure developments and a national steering committee controls coordination. Separate authorities or agencies have been established to implement and operate the different transport modes, and in both cities establishment of a public transport authority is proposed to ensure all transport modes are integrated. 8. International financiers coordinate urban transport sector support through informal meetings on projects or modalities, usually meeting quarterly. The urban transport sector is moving toward a program-based approach but at a project level, with leadership by city people’s committees through approved urban transport master plans that provide a comprehensive plan and coordination objectives. However, formal development coordination and harmonization are 2 Viet Nam National Railways, Viet Nam National Railway Authority, and the Ministry of Transport. 3 limited, as is the use of local systems. Major investments over the next 5 years are expected to strengthen these weak areas in stages to ensure that a program-based approach is used in the long term for project loans for urban transport development in major cities. 9. The project builds partnerships through cofinancing arrangements and cooperation that extends beyond the project level into development in other cities, and also through the integration of common issues that affect separate projects financed by disparate development partners. In urban rail, this includes coordinating operation and maintenance, ticketing, and fares systems and coordination at interchange stations, including multimodal interchanges. At an institutional level, development partners generally support a common approach to policy and organizational reforms needed to ensure the establishment of sustainable integrated public transport. The coordination of TA among financiers is well established, with duplication of effort on common issues largely avoided. C. Achievements and Issues 10. Urban transport master plans have been approved that seek to expand public transport network capacity to meet 45%–50% of demand. An improved urban transit network is vital to meet the increasing travel demand in these growing cities. For urban transit, the demand will be met through a combination of metro lines along major urban corridors (with future extension of some lines to regional growth centers), and significant expansion of the bus network, including bus rapid transit lines. To ensure growth in urban transit ridership (i) all modes of urban transit should be integrated at common terminals or multimodal transfer points; (ii) bus and rail schedules should be coordinated; and (iii) common standards employed for operations; safety and emergency services; and maintenance, including ticketing systems. 11. The project represents ADB’s second intervention3 in the urban transport sector in Viet Nam. ADB has closely coordinated with development partners to properly address the emerging urban transport sector issues in its loan and TA projects. ADB has also successfully established cofinancing arrangements. Although there have been no previous urban transport achievements, the project itself has managed to work with the government and the Ha Noi People’s Committee to ensure a comprehensive multimodal and integrated approach will be developed for metro line 3, through the large TA project and mobilization of significant global climate change funds for implementation of non-metro components. D. Summary and Recommendations 12.

  • ESCAP PPP Case Study #1
    Public-Private Partnerships Case Study #1 Traffic Demand Risk: The case of Bangkok’s Skytrain (BTS) by Mathieu Verougstraete and Isabelle Enders (March 2014) The following case study examines the issue of traffic demand risk and sheds light on how the problem of inaccurate ridership forecasts can impact a PPP project by using the example of the Bangkok SkyTrain. TRAFFIC DEMAND RISK FIGURE 1 : ACTUAL/FORECAST TRAFFIC Even though literature is rich about theory and practice of traffic forecasting, insufficient attention has been paid to the predicted accuracy of traffic forecasting models and the consequences of occurring errors. Emperical studies suggest however that traffic forecasts in the transport sector are characterized by large errors and considerable optimism bias.1 This statement goes in line with the review conducted on PPP projects financed by the European Investment Bank which states that major issues in road projects BANGKOK BTS: CASE SUMMARY occurred because of traffic performance has been overestimated.

    CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 General Overview of Research Object 1.1.1 Light Rail Transit Figure 1.1 LRT Source : www.kabar3.com The Palembang Light Rail Transit (Palembang LRT) is an operational light rail transit system in Palembang, Indonesia which connects Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin II International Airport and Jakabaring Sports City. Starting construction in 2015, the project was built to facilitate the 2018 Asian Games and was completed in mid-2018, just a few months before the event. Costing Rp 10.9 trillion for construction, the system is the first operational light rail transit system in Indonesia, and utilizes trains made by local manufacturer PT.INKA. The system's only line has a total of 13 stations (6 operational). As Palembang was to host the 2018 Asian Games, the project was pushed to be completed before the event began. Groundbreaking for the project occurred on 1 November 2015, with state-owned company Waskita Karya being appointed as the primary contractor following the issuance of Presidential Regulation 116 of 2015 on Acceleration of Railway Train Operation in South Sumatera Province. The contract, which was signed in February 2017, was initially valued at Rp 12.5 trillion. Construction was scheduled for completion in February 2018, with commercial service beginning in May 2018. However, the completion date was moved to June 2018 with operations beginning in July, only one month before the Asian Games. A test run was done on 22 May 2018 and was inaugurated by President Joko Widodo on 15 July 2018. Operations for the LRT started on 1 August, several days before the Jakarta LRT began running, making it the first operational LRT system in the country.

    In 2016 a large catch-up* in infrastructure investments is being confirmed by several Latin American countries, driven by the knowledge that economic growth relies heavily on quality infrastructure. The transport sector is going to firmly benefit from the expected increase in public and private funds. The continent being one of the most urbanized regions in the world, a large focus goes into urban rail projects: Mexico, Guatemala, Paraguay, Colombia, Chile, Brazil… are planning new projects for metro, light rail, high speed rail, monorail and passenger trains. One country is clearly taking the lead: Argentina. Besides boosting its investment climate and PPP laws, Argentina made public the ambitious 8-year 14.187 m USD investment in Buenos Aires` commuter network. Related key projects are the city`s RER and tunneling of the Sarmiento line. The Latin America Passenger Rail Expansion Summit will bring together local and international stakeholders, government officials, operators, developers, architects, consultants and equipment plus solution providers to discuss the current rail sector. *300.000 m USD is what Latam should be investing annually, versus the 150.000 m USD spent annually on infrastructure in the previous 20 years. http://latinamerica.railexpansionsummit.com OUTLOOK SOME OF THE TO BE INVITED DELEGATES Argentina foresees 14187 m USD ANPTrilhos INCOFER, Costa Rica Ministerio de Transporte y Comunicaciones, Peru 14187 investment in AFE Uruguay VLT Carioca Consortium Directorio de Transporte Público Metropolitano, Chile suburban network.

The Thai government drew up the Bangkok Mass Transit Master Plan (produced by the Office of the Commission for the Management of Road Traffic (OCMRT) and hereinafter referred to as the “master plan”) in 1995 based on the 7th National Economic and Social Development Plan (1992–1996) for the purpose of developing a mass transit network and also for developing a network of ordinary roads and expressways to achieve steady economic growth, together with resolving the above-mentioned traffic congestion and air pollution. Furthermore, the development of the mass transit network proposed in the master plan is also specified in the subsequent 8th National Economic and Social Development Plan (1997–2000), and it is positioned as an extremely important national project in Thailand. The plan for the Bangkok mass transit system, part of the master plan, involves the construction of five lines that will radiate out and join the Bangkok Metropolitan Area (BMA) with the Bangkok Metropolitan Region (BMR)1 together with creating a network 1 The Bangkok Metropolitan Region includes Bangkok, which is a special administrative area, and the surrounding five provinces of Samut Prakan, Pathum Thani, Samut Sakhon, Nakhon Pathom, and Nonthaburi.

    DEVELOPMENT THE “ The Urban Rail Development Handbook offers both planners and political decision makers a comprehensive view of one of the largest, if not the largest, investment a city can undertake: an urban rail system. The handbook properly recognizes that urban rail is only one part of a hierarchically integrated transport system, and it provides practical guidance on how urban rail projects can be implemented and operated RAIL URBAN THE URBAN RAIL in a multimodal way that maximizes benefits far beyond mobility. The handbook is a must-read for any person involved in the planning and decision making for an urban rail line.” —Arturo Ardila-Gómez, Global Lead, Urban Mobility and Lead Transport Economist, World Bank DEVELOPMENT “ The Urban Rail Development Handbook tackles the social and technical challenges of planning, designing, financing, procuring, constructing, and operating rail projects in urban areas. It is a great complement HANDBOOK to more technical publications on rail technology, infrastructure, and project delivery. This handbook provides practical advice for delivering urban megaprojects, taking account of their social, institutional, and economic context.” —Martha Lawrence, Lead, Railway Community of Practice and Senior Railway Specialist, World Bank HANDBOOK “ Among the many options a city can consider to improve access to opportunities and mobility, urban rail stands out by its potential impact, as well as its high cost. Getting it right is a complex and multifaceted challenge that this handbook addresses beautifully through an in-depth and practical sharing of hard lessons learned in planning, implementing, and operating such urban rail lines, while ensuring their transformational role for urban development.” —Gerald Ollivier, Lead, Transit-Oriented Development Community of Practice, World Bank “ Public transport, as the backbone of mobility in cities, supports more inclusive communities, economic development, higher standards of living and health, and active lifestyles of inhabitants, while improving air quality and liveability.
