Abstract
As part of the Urban Public Transport Policy Framework (UPTPF), the Japanese Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport (MLIT) has conducted studies in several major regional ASEAN cities to recommend practical solutions and frameworks for moving forward to create sustainable and comprehensive public transport policies. In 2003, Chiang Mai, Thailand was chosen as the first target city of this framework and the second city was Batam, Indonesia in 2004. MLIT also undertook a study in Siem Reap, Cambodia in 2006. The studies aimed to develop well-organized and sustainable urban public bus services in the cities where 1) a majority of public transport was operated as paratransit, 2) formal public transport was relatively poor, or 3) urban public transport did not exist. This paper briefly summarizes the studies conducted over the past few years in the selected cities and, from the study results, outlines a number of lessons learned.
