Public–private partnership (PPP) has been extensively used in many sectors worldwide to provide alternative funding for public infrastructure. However, limited evidence found that this scheme was successfully adopted in railway transport particularly in the later stage of the project life cycle. Private participation during operation and maintenance stages are worthy of comprehensive research to cope with recovery of public investment and institutionalization problems. This research aims to analyze the potential of unbundling scenarios based on railway components by taking into account the Light Rail Transit (LRT) project in developing countries as the case study. A life cycle cost evaluation and sensitivity analysis were used to formulate a practical and regulatory framework for the macro-level of decision-making modeling. The findings indicate a possible scenario by considering the passenger demand, ticket price, and government support to generate the best option based on net present value (NPV) and internal rate of return (IRR). The proposed alternative recommends an attractive investment return for private interest, encourages lower support for government subsidy, and offers a reasonable tariff for the users. The study also suggests future implications from the adoption of research findings which may affect policy formulation and railway industry as a whole.

“…Um dos pontos de destaque é a utilização de técnicas voltadas para melhoria do transporte público. Diante dessa preocupação, é necessário abordar um sistema de transporte sustentável, com políticas voltadas ao TP e incentivos a modos não motorizados que são apresentados pelos mais diversos autores (Alpkokin, Kiremitci, et al, 2016;Buehler e Pucher, 2011a;Giles-Corti et al, 2016;Kenworthy, 2006;May et al, 2000May et al, , 2011Shiftan et al, 2003), sendo assim importante destacar as publicações que tratam de modos de transporte motorizados mais sustentáveis como trens e ônibus.…”

Resumo:A relação entre o transporte público e a sustentabilidade tem se destacado nas pesquisas científicas. Assim, o objetivo desse artigo é utilizar as abordagens da bibliometria e redes sociais para analisar as publicações relacionadas a esses temas. Para bibliometria foram utilizados critérios de produtividade dos periódicos, autores e citações de publicações oriundas das bases Science Direct, Scopus e Web of Science. Foram selecionados 48 artigos se destacando os que tratavam da caracterização do padrão de viagens e escolha modal, técnicas para melhorias do transporte público, sustentabilidade ambiental e social, sendo a maioria (81%) de aplicação prática. A análise de rede social, feita pelo CiteSpace, abordou 245 referências, utilizando as métricas de modularidade, silhueta e centralidade, para autores citados, países e palavras chave. Os países com maiores centralidades são: Estados Unidos, China e Austrália, mas a Inglaterra e Estados Unidos contêm as áreas de pesquisa mais ativas. Para as palavras chave, as maiores centralidades foram "sustainable development", "built environment" e "travel behavior". Os autores com maiores centralidades foram o Cervero R. e Banister D., apresentando convergência com o que foi encontrado na bibliometria. Por fim, o estudo mostrou que a análise bibliométrica e de rede social, são complementares e convergentes, ambas indicando tendências de literatura a sustentabilidade ambiental e social.Palavras-Chave: Transporte Público.

Thus, the purpose of this article is to use the approaches of bibliometrics and social networks to analyze the publications related to these subjects. For bibliometrics, we used productivity criteria of journals, authors and citations of publications from the bases Science Direct, Scopus and Web of Science. A total of 48 articles were selected, highlighting those that dealt with the characterization of travel patterns and modal choice, techniques for public transport improvements, environmental and social sustainability, with the majority (81%) being of practical application. The analysis of social network, made by CiteSpace, approached 245 references, using the metrics of modularity, silhouette and centrality, for cited authors, countries and keywords. The countries with the largest centralities are the United States, China and Australia, but England and the United States contain the most active research areas. For key words, the major centralities were "sustainable development", "built environment" and "travel behavior". The authors with the greatest centralities were Cervero R. and Banister D., showing convergence with what was found in bibliometrics. Finally, the study showed that bibliometric and social network analysis are complementary and convergent, both indicating trends in the literature on environmental and social sustainability.

Choosing Between Tram and Metro in Hong Kong – Utility, Affect and Demographics

A major question facing many cities is whether to give preference to surface light rail or to heavier rail underground. In theory, the two systems have quite different functions because of average travel speed, and integration with local land use and surface movement systems. There are differences in headways, capacity, and station density, although these differences can be lessened through technological advances. The major implication for city development is the impact that these two systems have for surface development. In general, metro systems favour nodal development, often in the form of transit-oriented development (TOD), while tramways support more linear development, with direct support for street-oriented commerce. In Hong Kong, the recent extensions to the Island Line parallel the alignment of the surface tramways. In this study, we apply a structured questionnaire to local residents to determine how and when they use each of these services. Preference for tram increases for short-distance trips and overall for individuals over the age of 50. For short trips of 2-3 km, travel time, travel cost, waiting time, air conditioning, service quality and vehicle stability were all significant in the preference for metro. Scenery, emotional attachment, gender and age were all significant in the choice of tram for those same trips. Passengers paid little attention to the longer access times to metro and believed that waiting time was less, although access and waiting time are both longer for the metro mode. There was less distinction between the modes for longer trips, in part because of the smaller number, in part because of the adherence of elderly people to the tram mode. In Hong Kong, the two modes are perceived differently and serve somewhat different clienteles, which may be important for the operators of these systems as they consider the integration of surface and underground transit.
