“…Defining clear objectives at strategic level leads to tactical planning of the system and involves a service provision that meets these objectives. Furthermore, an efficient negotiated contract and the trust among the operators and regulators remain very important criteria (Stanley & Longva, 2010). In another side, questions about the relationship between the performance of the operators and the contract's agreements are addressed in the literature.…”

In Algiers area several collective transportation means such as: public buses, private buses, tramway, metro, train, etc are available; nevertheless the lack of coordination among them arises some relevant questions concerning the profitability of these means, as well as the satisfaction of travellers. In order to answer these questions, a statistical survey is conducted by the urban dynamics team of our research centre. Furthermore, the present work aims to figure out optimal strategies of both public authority and the private transport union, taking into account the travellers’ reactions. In this direction, a three steps game is considered. To compute a solution to the game under consideration, an ABC algorithm combined to TOPSIS method are used. The whole methodology is applied to Algiers area and bring solutions that motivate the private operators to cooperate with the authorities’ plans. In addition, the developed algorithm has the advantage to be flexible, since it allows multiple optimal solutions.

“…TPBC have been promoted through the Dutch experience in transit contracting (Bakker and van de Velde 2009; Dijkstra and Verheijdt 2009), in France (Yvrande-Billon 2006) and Australia (Hensher and Stanley 2010). An approach to achieving successful trusting partnerships has been suggested (Stanley and Longva 2010) including adoption of 'The 5 C's' to support contract clarity (before signing the contract), and clarity of obligations once the contract is signed:…”

The International Transport ForumThe International Transport Forum is an intergovernmental organisation with 57 member countries. It acts as a think tank for transport policy and organises the Annual Summit of transport ministers. ITF is the only global body that covers all transport modes. The ITF is politically autonomous and administratively integrated with the OECD.The ITF works for transport policies that improve peoples' lives. Our mission is to foster a deeper understanding of the role of transport in economic growth, environmental sustainability and social inclusion and to raise the public profile of transport policy.The ITF organises global dialogue for better transport. We act as a platform for discussion and pre-negotiation of policy issues across all transport modes. We analyse trends, share knowledge and promote exchange among transport decision-makers and civil society. The ITF's Annual Summit is the world's largest gathering of transport ministers and the leading global platform for dialogue on transport policy.

“…Research in other policy areas have shown that a great amount of power lies within a procurement unit, but no study has thou actual analysed and critically examined the power relationships that exist in the Scandinavian model of public transport; how is power gained, maintained and controlled? It is also very difficult to identify international studies focusing on the power relationships between actors in public transport procurement situations [10,11]. 1 This article aims to provide an understanding of the interrelationships between the actors involved in planning public transport procurements, with a focus on the power relations between involved actors.…”

Purpose In striving for a "successful" public transport system, functional procurement operations are needed. The "Scandinavian model" has gained popularity in Europe, prompting considerable research into relationships between government and private transport operators. To understand the Scandinavian model, one must also identify the roles governmental actors and institutions play when interacting in procurement processes. This article aims to provide an understanding of the interrelationships between the actors involved in planning a public transport procurement process. Method The method used is case study method and in specific process tracing. The empirical data consist of public documents and interviews concerning the work with a public transport procurement, located to a Swedish county. Results The article demonstrates power relationships between the actors and identifies how resources are deployed to maximize influence while minimizing dependence on other actors. It also shows that there is a dominant coalition that employs strategies within the rules of the game to regulate the process of exchange. Conclusion The article conclude that the procurement entity is the dominant organisation and that the actors working within it form a dominant coalition. The procurement entity, however, is dependent on political and financial resources from the principals to achieve its agenda.
