  • 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.

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).
