  • Boda Boda – Uganda’S Rural and Urban Low-Capacity Transport Services
    Boda Boda – Uganda’s Rural and Urban Low-Capacity Transport Services John Howe Independent Transport Consultant, UK Annabel Davis TRL Limited, UK ABSTRACT: Bicycle and motorcycle-based boda boda are a Ugandan innovation that extends the range of transport services found in most of Africa. They provide a short-distance, low-capacity service able to serve low-density demands, and those where access is physically restricted and cannot be met by conventional pub- lic transport. Because of low incomes and the high unit cost of the services the poor benefit mainly through employment in the industry. RESUMÉ: Le transport public par bicyclettes et par motocyclettes (boda boda) est une invention ougandaise qui vient augmenter la variété des services des transports en Afrique Subsaharienne. Les boda boda offrent un service de transport de faible capacité sur de courtes distances. Ils sont capables de satisfaire une demande de transport de faible densité et dans des zones inaccessibles par le transport conventionnel. Compte tenu de leur coûts d’exploitation élevés, les avantages des boda boda sont surtout réduits à la création d’emplois pour les pauvres. 1 INTRODUCTION One of the puzzles of the African transport sector is equipped with a padded cushion fitted over the rear that, with a few isolated exceptions, it suffers from carrier. In what has been called the ‘missing middle’ (Pankaj the early 1990’s bicycle-based carriers were com- 1991). Movement of people and goods goes from plemented by, and compete with, light motorcycles walking and headloading to the truck and bus in one that have greatly extended the range and load car- technological leap.

Roger Peterson Arthur and Ruth Sloan Professor of Political Science Chair, Graduate Program Committee 1 Why some airport-rail links get built and others do not: the role of institutions, equity and financing by Julia Nickel Submitted to the Department of Political Science On October 12, 2010, in partial fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Political Science Abstract The thesis seeks to provide an understanding of reasons for different outcomes of airport ground access projects. 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.
