The Operator's Story

Operator's Story

TSC | World Bank | CoMET

Originally conducted upon a request from the Government of India under the supervision and assistance of the Ministry of Urban Development.

About the Project

Metro Operators are the entities that deliver metro services to the customers who in turn comprise the residents, workforce, and overall human capital of modern cities. Their performance impacts on quality of life, access to jobs, and the competitiveness of cities, if not countries. The core objective of the research is to identify and document what makes metros successful, particularly from the Operator’s point of view, by telling the “Operator’s Story”.

The Identification and Management of Bus Priority Schemes

bus priority report

TSC | IBBG

A study of international experiences and best practices

About the Project

Priority measures for bus services (such as green light priority or dedicated bus lanes) can improve both the quality of the service and its efficiency for passengers and operators alike. This study looks at how bus priority schemes are identified and managed in 14 different cities across Asia, Australia, Europe and North America – using data from the International Bus Benchmarking Group (IBBG).
