'''ith the rising population. Transporters 1 bus operators arc less inclined to bring new vehicles on the road due to a Vi.Uiety of n:asons including higher upfront cost, lack of incentives and the transport sector i~eU working largely in an unorganized fashion As a consequence thereof, the !acilitit:s are gdting deteriorated and travel time of passengers is getting liiCreased at the expt:nse of tl1eir comfort; not to mt!ntion tha.t ev•~n these vohides are in short supply ~·lith r~spect to the actual need. While several mfi~S traru;it ~;chemes like BTR co:ridon; and n:vi val of the KCR are being planned, tlw existing tleet of buses operated by the transporter~. shoU continue to remain the backbone of thE' transport sector, not just because of the extt>nsive nehvork of routes operated by them but also because of the interconnection that they shall provide to the upcoming BRT corridors and KCR. llrs thus the need of the hour that some sort of schL'lTle / incentive is rolled out tor these existing transporters so a::~Lo accord them an opporhmity t~1 upgrade their aging Jnd decrepit fleet of vvhide.s.TI1esc l.hought'i / plans ·were Jiscussed at a rne~ting chaired by thf' Honourable Chit>£ ivliniste.r Sir.dh firstly on 19lh October 2016 (in the me.::tir.g pertainmg to the Motor Vehicle lnspection project) and secondly on 24ih January 2017 wherein Mr. Shahnawaz N<:!dir, Chief Investment Specialist proposed and briefed about the l:lus Leasing Oc:hetne to lhe CM (minutes ar~ attached ::~s Annexure A). 2.

Moreover, buses/minibuses are highly over loaded. Under existing conditions introduction of new large buses is financially unattractive. Due to these reasons, many people who are able to use other modes consider the bus service to be of such a low standard that they do not recognize the bus as an option available to them. They are therefore forced to use their own private transport or some form of para-transit, thus leading to fuelling the growth in cars and motorcycles in Karachi. Under the circumstances, it is imperative that the people must be attracted, away from private transport and para transit on to bus. This requirement means improvement of public transport service standards throughout, together with provision for a quality service acceptable to those who have other options available. With a population of 16.051 million in the current year, and as per the internationally accepted yardstick of bus to population ratio of 1:1500, present requirement of large buses is 10,600 as against the existing public transport fleet equivalent to 6,457 buses of various sizes, leaving an immediate shortfall of 4,143 buses. The present government fully realized the dimension of the problem, has planned to provide comfortable efficient and affordable public transport service in private sector. Under its first phase, the scheme will be launched in Karachi and would be extended in other areas of the province at later stage. In view of high travel demand on major corridors of the city, the Sindh Mass Transit Authority has already initiated actions for development of mass transit network comprising of two MRT and six BRT corridors besides Revival of Karachi Circular Railway. However, to supplement the mass transit network, the SMTA has also developed a comprehensive intracity bus service plan for Karachi, defining route network, bus fleet requirement bus standards and financing mechanism to ensure sustainability. The present Urban Bus Service therefore aimed at achieving the said objectives. This Request for Proposals (RFP) is issued by the Sindh Mass Transit Authority (SMTA), on behalf of the Transport &Mass Transit Department (TMTD). It invites local and foreign parties to bid for Benazir Intracity Bus Service Project to provide bus services in Karachi. This RFP is being provided to clarify the process and evaluation criteria, and to give guidance to bidders in the development of proposals. 1.2 The objectives of the Scheme include: • creating an environment in which the private sector can develop quality scheduled bus transport services throughout Karachi; • continuing the provision of bus services in areas currently served, including sub-urban areas; • encouraging the expansion of services; and • gradually eliminating the financial support provided by the Government.

The demand for transportation has been increasing day ,by day due to the growing population in the province. To realize the acute shortage of transport and dilapidated co_ndition of operative fleet, the Government of Sindh aims to roll out some scheme I incentive in order to facilitate commuters in different parts of Interior Sindh. It is to be noted that the present transportation system operating along the routes is insufficient to meet the growing demands of travelers as the existing system suffers from sub-optimal performance of local transporters in rural areas, which results in late departures/arrivals, improper bus service and lack of support. Moreover, the situation is being worsen on weekends as scores of people travel to the districts of Sind h. 2. The concept of Intercity Bus Project was discussed in a meeting chaired by the Honourable Chief Minister Sindh on March 29th 2017 wherein the two earlier projects on Intercity were also conferred as given below: a) Shaheed Benazir Bhutto Intercity Buses (the SBBIB Project) under PPP mode subsequently scrapped due to non-achievement of financial close. The GoS contribution for the SBBIB project stood at PKR 645 million remained un-utilized because of failure of the scheme. b) The 60 Intercity Buses under Annual Development Program, 2016-17, Scheme No. 2247, with an allocation of PKR 150 million (un-utilized) is to be withdrawn. (Minutes of the meeting are attached as Annexure A) 3. In the said meeting, it was discussed that the more transparent, bigger, and highly participative project should be introduced to cover whole of Sindh which provide better transport facilities to large segment of urban & rural Sindh. The inter-provincial routes may be developed in such a manner that ensure at least 70 percent of its coverage in the interior Sindh. Therefore, it was agreed in principal to replace the above two projects by replicating the intra-city Bus Leasing Model to introduce Intercity Bus project as presented by the Chief Investment Specialist. {The approved summary of Intra-city project is attached as Annexure B) Page 11 4. Subsequently, the scheme for the introduction of buses on the intercity routes was discussed in various meetings held at Transport & Mass Transit Department (the TMTD) with the CEO of Sindh Modaraba Limited (the SML) and Chief Investment Specialist, Finance Department, GoS where the SML consented to proceed for Inter-city Bus Project with the slight modifications in the financing structure as compared to the earlier conceived intra-city bus project, as detailed below: Priority Routes 1: • The total cost of vehicles shall be contributed by the Sindh High Travel Demand Routes Modaraba and the transporter at the debt-equity ratio of 70:30. The transporter shall pay full 30% of the upfront vehicle cost as their equity. • SML shall charge a mark-up of KIBOR + 3.50%, while the transporter shall bear the burden of flat 5% mark-up. The difference shall be borne by GoS. • GoS shall bear the cost of insurance which shall not be more than 5% of the value of the vehicle. • In case of default, the GoS shall pro¥lde upto 30% credit coverage of the outstanding principal amount to SML. • The SML shall only finance the locally assembled vehicles and transporter shall ply them in Sindh and its peripheries. • In case of inter-provincial routes, a minimum of 70% routes shall be deployed within Sindh. Priority Routes II: • The total cost of vehicle shall be contributed at the debt to Low Travel Demand Routes equity ratio of 70:30 - the 70% financing shall be made through SML, while the transporter shall pay 15% of the vehicle cost and the other 15% shall be borne by GaS as interest-free loan. • SML shall charge a mark-up of KIBOR + 3.50%, while the transporter shall bear the burden of flat 5% mark-up. The difference shall be borne by GaS. • GoS shall bear the cost of insurance which shall not be more than 5% of the value of the vehicle. • In case of default, the GaS shall provide upto 30% credit coverage of the outstanding principal amount to SML. • The SML shall only finance the locally assembled vehicles and transporter shall ply them in Sindh and its peripheries. • In case of inter-provincial routes, a minimum of 70% routes shall be deployed within Sindh. ------~----- 5. Furthermore, the transporters shall be responsible for the procurement of buses as per the standard specification provided by the Government. However, the GaS in collaboration with SML shall provide the financial assistance to the transporters to operate intercity buses in the province. Page I 2 6. In this regard, the approval of the Honorable Chief Minister Sindh is solicited for the following: a) Withdrawal of the allocation in ADP 2016-17 for 60 Intercity Buses amounting to PKR 150 million and deletion of the said scheme no. 2247. b) To sanction the amount of PKR 2,000 million for Intercity Bus Project under Modaraba financing scheme for the introduction of approximately 428 buses in the inter-provincial routes.

(b) Since the budget for the upcoming financial year 2017-18 has been presented and no allocation has been made in respect of the proposed scheme, an amount of Rs 2,000 million can be provided 'outside of budget' in the upcoming financial year 2017-18, in two tranches of Rs 1,000 million each.
