Abstract

In the context of best practice with regards to the market structure and organization of urban public transport over the last 30 years or so would reveal the popularity of a hybrid transport model, that is a model in which the public and the private sector share responsibilities for the delivery of the service. A more careful review would reveal an evolving consensus with respect to the optimal degree and form of government intervention in this hybrid model. We look at the Chilean model, which has had similar experiences to us in a similar time period to see if Jamaican policy makers can enhance our system, the JUTC (Jamaican Urban Transport System) by their experiences.
