    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.

    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.

Five in-depth case studies (Hongkong, Tokyo-Narita, London- Heathrow, Chicago- O’Hare and Paris-Charles de Gaulle) and eight smaller case studies (Kuala Lumpur, Seoul, Shanghai-Pudong, Bangkok, Beijing, Rome- Fiumicino, Istanbul-Atatürk and Munich- Franz Josef Strauss) are conducted. The thesis builds on existing literature that compares airport-rail links by explicitly considering the influence of the institutional environment of an airport on its ground access situation and by paying special attention to recently opened dedicated airport expresses in Asia.

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.

  • Urban Rail in Jakarta and Jabodetabek (With Thanks to Fagra Hanif for Supporting Information)
    Urban Rail in Jakarta and Jabodetabek (with thanks to Fagra Hanif for supporting information) Context Jakarta and the strategic metropolitan area known as Jabodetabek (Jakarta and the neighbouring municipalities of Bogor, Depok, Tangerang and Bekasi) has a population of 28mil (10mil Jakarta proper). This region has urban rail heritage, with the original suburban rail infrastructure dating from the early 20th century, during the Dutch colonial period (BOS -Batavia Ooster Spoorweg). Following independence, other priorities meant that funding for the network was constrained and this fact, combined with rapid urbanisation, growing prosperity and growth in car ownership, diminished the use and value of urban rail provision whilst also bringing congestion to the ‘over-capacity’ road network. In the late 1970s, the problems caused by underinvestment in the network became evident and since then, a combination of policy changes and increased resources have brought upgrading to the existing suburban network (double tracking, electrification, new rolling stock etc.), some false starts (monorail), and, more latterly, construction of modern ‘metro-type’ lines. With expansion and modernisation there has been much improvement to the urban rail setting in Jakarta and this city/region now has a comprehensive and interesting multi-modal rail footprint with further expansion in construction. Full Metro: Jakarta MRT The first full metro in Indonesia, Jakarta MRT, opened in late March 2019. The line runs from Lebak Bulus (shedding facilities) through the southern suburbs on viaduct to the Blok M shopping area before heading underground after ASEAN and proceeding below Jalan Surdirman and the main commercial area to the busiest station Dukuh Atas (transfer to KRL, Airport Line, TransJakarta BRT and the future LRT).
