SPV ASAP!

• Create a special purpose vehicle (SPV) to demonstrate transformation. SPV is positioned as: – Newly created, independent entity. – Fresh competent professionals recruited for SPU executive team. – Its CEO is directly answerable to the Municipal Commissioner. • SPV role: – SPV is NOT an operator. It’s a lean, focused management and monitoring unit. – It retains the role of operations planning and business planning but hires contractors for operations. Effective PPP structure

Government (SPV) Private bus operator • Sets operating • Operates the buses parameters • Carries out maintenance • Monitors system performance • Receives all fare Fare collection operator revenue • Issues tickets and • Reimburses operators collects revenue for services performed (with penalties, where Other operators applicable) • Station maintenance, security, etc SPV structure
