  • Alternative Ways of Funding Public Transport
    Alternative Ways of Funding Public Transport A Case Study Assessment Barry Ubbels1, Peter Nijkamp1, Erik Verhoef1, Steve Potter2, Marcus Enoch2 1 Department of Spatial Economics, Free University Amsterdam, The Netherlands 2 Faculty of Technology, The Open University, Walton Hall, Milton Keynes, United Kingdom EJTIR, 1, no.1 (2001), pp. 73 - 89 Received: July 2000 Accepted: August 2000 Public transport traditionally has been, and still is, heavily subsidised by local or national governments, which have been motivated by declining average cost arguments, social considerations, and the desire to offer an alternative to private car use. Conventional sources for funding, including general taxes on labour, in many occasions have become harder to sustain for various reasons. This paper explores alternative, increasingly implemented, sources of funding, i.e., local charges or taxes that are hypothecated to support (urban) public transport (such as local sales taxes, parking charges etc.). Based on an overview of several case-studies all over the world, it is found that there is a large potential for applying unconventional charging mechanisms. Not only as means of raising financial support for public transport systems, but also as a method of sending appropriate (from a sustainable point of view) pricing signals to transport use. 1. Introduction Public transport refers to a collective transport system, which is made available, usually against payment, for any person who wishes to use it. Public transportation services can be provided at various scale levels and can take different forms. Common in many cities is the public bus and to a lesser extent the tram. Fewer countries have underground services or rapid rail.

  • Autopista Central, S.A. the Valuation of a Toll Road Project in Chile
    The Fuqua School of Business at Duke University FUQ-04-2010 Rev. April 30, 2010 Autopista Central, S.A. The Valuation of a Toll Road Project in Chile Manuel Flores arrived to his office in Madrid on Monday after a relaxing weekend spent with his family. It was mid-November 2007 and Flores, senior vice-president of Business Development for the Spanish construction and services company ACS, had spent the last three weeks visiting ACS project sites in Latin America. Upon his return to Spain, he had had gone to a three-day infrastructure and project finance conference in Majorca where many of the most important players in the industry had been in attendance. At the conference Flores was approached by Juan Albán from the toll-road and airport operator Abertis and Sergio Sandoval from the private equity arm of Santander Bank who had an interesting proposition for him. Specifically, Albán and Sandoval expressed considerable interest in jointly buying ACS’ stake in a 61 kilometer toll-road that the firm had constructed and was now co- operating in the Chilean capital of Santiago. ACS had a 48% equity stake in this venture known in Chile as Autopista Central or “Central Highway” which had received investment of more than USD 800 million by 2007. Although some had recently begun to speculate that world asset prices had reached a peak, companies like Abertis and Santander still had appetite for infrastructure projects that they viewed as being relatively safe investments. Flores, Albán, and Sandoval had had a series of informal meetings regarding Autopista Central at the conference in which the group decided that Flores would discuss the idea of a sale of ACS’ stake with the firm’s CEO, Florentino Pérez, as soon as possible.

  • Cloudburst Masterplan for Ladegårdså, Frederiksberg East & Vesterbro
    SUMMARY CLOUDBURST MASTERPLAN FOR LADEGÅRDSÅ, FREDERIKSBERG EAST & VESTERBRO RESUMÉ KONKRETISERING AF SKYBRUDSPLAN Ladegårdsåen og Vesterbro CLOUDBURST CATCHMENTS The very severe cloudburst hitting Copenhagen the 2nd of July 2011 caused flooding in large portions of the city. The flooding caused significant problems for the infrastructure in the NH inner parts of Copenhagen and Frederiksberg. In certain places up to half a meter of water covered the street and several houses and shops had suffered serious damages. Brønshøj - Husum Østerbro Bispebjerg ØSTERBRO The serious consequences following the cloudburst on July 2nd 2011 and other minor cloudbursts have led the municipalities of Copenhagen and Frederiksberg to initiate this project, Nørrebro which aims to highlight potential initiatives effective in mitigating flooding and reducing damages related to Ladegårdså cloudbursts in the future. Vanløse- INDREIndre BY by The cloudburst solutions presented here cover the Frederiksberg Vest Frederiksberg Øst CH catchments of Ladegårdså, Frederiksberg East & Vesterbro. The proposed solutions for cloudburst management comply with the service level for cloudbursts in Copenhagen and Frederiksberg, ie. a maximum of 10 cm of water on terrain Vesterbro during a 100-year storm event. Additionally, in accordance with the intentions and visions set out in the Cloudburst Plan for Copenhagen and Frederiksberg from 2012, proposed Amager solutions are sought developed to include added value and Valby - SH elements, which contribute to making the city more green, Frederiksberg Sydvest more blue, more attractive and more liveable. The cloudburst catchments are prioritized based on an assessment of the flood risks in the individual catchments. Along with the Inner City (Indre by) & Østerbro, the Ladegårdså, Frederiksberg East & Vesterbro catchment belongs to catchments of highest priority.

  • LST Awarded Renovation Contract for Paris Montmartre Funicular
    Sainte Hélène du Lac (Savoie, France), 22 February 2016 (after market close) MND: LST awarded renovation contract for Paris Montmartre funicular The MND Group (FR0011584549, MND), an innovative developer of mountain and urban mobility solutions, is listed on the Paris Euronext regulated market, compartment C. MND today announces that its subsidiary LST, a cable transport specialist and reputed ropeway designer and constructor, has been awarded the contract to renovate the Montmartre funicular railway by Paris public transport operator RATP. For LST, this is a major icon in the world of urban cable transport, as the funicular is the busiest in the world, carrying around four million passengers a year. The three-year contract covers the complete overhaul of the two machineries of the funicular lines and major inspections of the two cars. One of the many challenges involved in this highly technical renovation operation is to ensure continuous service during the work, which will be fit into a very narrow time frame between the end of the Montmartre harvest festival in October and the start of the Christmas holidays. The project therefore requires tight planning of on-site operations. Roland Didier, MND’s Deputy General Manager, made the following comments: “We are particularly proud to have won this iconic contract thanks to the efficient technical solution we were able to offer. It will strengthen our positioning in the urban cable transport sector, a hive of opportunities for which MND Group has renewed its product range and developed its innovative CABLINE system. Gaining the trust of a particularly demanding operator like RATP for a major line in its network proves that MND is regarded as a key player in the booming environment-friendly transport market, and brings us closer to our targets." 1 Find all the information you need on www.mnd-bourse.com About MND Group: The MND Group has been based at Sainte Hélène du Lac (Savoie), in the very heart of the French Alps, since 2004.
