SUMMARY Jakarta is one of the world’s largest and fastest-growing cities. Its transport system has failed to keep up with growth, and a number of steps are now being taken to solve some of the worst problems. Jakarta is adding new transport modes and aims to achieve a simplified fare payment structure by 2025. The government is also working to improve transport sustainability by promoting car-free days and encouraging the adoption of green vehicles. In the 2020 budget priorities, for investment in transport are directed towards air pollution control, development of rail lines, and production and adoption of EVs. However, the city still needs to tackle peak-hour congestion, enhance public transport coverage and intermodal integration, and enforce stricter traffic and parking laws.

  • 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.

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.

In the summer of 2004, Taiwan‟s ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) sent a delegation of junior staff from the Party‟s headquarters and congressional offices to attend a diplomatic workshop in Washington DC. All of the delegates had been born in Taipei during the late 1970s, and had grown up there. They all had a college or Master‟s degree, mainly in social sciences; they were well-versed in Western critical social theories. For many of them, this was the first trip overseas. After the official function, they visited New York City before going back to Taiwan. During the delegation‟s stay in New York, “they grumbled all the way through”, observed their local guide, the DPP‟s spokesperson from the New York office who happened also to be pursuing an advanced degree in urban studies in the United States.
