  • Belt and Road Transport Corridors: Barriers and Investments
    Munich Personal RePEc Archive Belt and Road Transport Corridors: Barriers and Investments Lobyrev, Vitaly and Tikhomirov, Andrey and Tsukarev, Taras and Vinokurov, Evgeny Eurasian Development Bank, Institute of Economy and Transport Development 10 May 2018 Online at https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/86705/ MPRA Paper No. 86705, posted 18 May 2018 16:33 UTC BELT AND ROAD TRANSPORT CORRIDORS: BARRIERS AND INVESTMENTS Authors: Vitaly Lobyrev; Andrey Tikhomirov (Institute of Economy and Transport Development); Taras Tsukarev, PhD (Econ); Evgeny Vinokurov, PhD (Econ) (EDB Centre for Integration Studies). This report presents the results of an analysis of the impact that international freight traffic barriers have on logistics, transit potential, and development of transport corridors traversing EAEU member states. The authors of EDB Centre for Integration Studies Report No. 49 maintain that, if current railway freight rates and Chinese railway subsidies remain in place, by 2020 container traffic along the China-EAEU-EU axis may reach 250,000 FEU. At the same time, long-term freight traffic growth is restricted by a number of internal and external factors. The question is: What can be done to fully realise the existing trans-Eurasian transit potential? Removal of non-tariff and technical barriers is one of the key target areas. Restrictions discussed in this report include infrastructural (transport and logistical infrastructure), border/customs-related, and administrative/legal restrictions. The findings of a survey conducted among European consignors is a valuable source of information on these subjects. The authors present their recommendations regarding what can be done to remove the barriers that hamper international freight traffic along the China-EAEU-EU axis.

    INTRODUCTION In these complicated times for both citizens and public administrations, public transport remains a government action priority, perhaps more so than ever before. Despite the demands placed on their budgets, the Catalan Government and local authorities have prioritised the allocation of resources to the ATM to maintain the current levels of quality and service. People’s right to accessibility must be guaranteed and, in order to do so to a satisfactory standard, we must equip ourselves with an effective and efficient public trans- port system, while abiding by the principles of sustainable mobility. Moreover, we must be especially alert to the needs of those people who, for personal or family circumstances, LLUÍS RECODER I MirallES require support from the administration. The commitment to discounted concession tickets Councillor for Territory and Sustain- is a clear example of this and is further demonstrated by the creation of the new ticket for ability and Chairman of the Metro- politan Transport Authority unemployed people, the reduction in the cost of the T-Jove and T-Trimestre cards and the expansion of the T-12 card to include children up to the age of 13. 2011 was a good year for the Barcelona Metropolitan Transport Authority from the point of view of demand. Within the area covered by the Integrated Fare System, a historic high of 935.5 million journeys was reached, 1.4% more than the previous year. The use of public transport has risen across the board, with an increase of 0.6% in bus travel and 1.9% in rail travel.
