Filling the gap in urban transport: Private sector participation in transition countries

This paper reviews private sector participation (PSP) in urban transport in central and eastern Europe and the Commonwealth of Independent States. It documents how the private sector is helping to address service gaps in poorer countries and identifies a strong negative relationship between GDP per capita and the degree of PSP. It also shows that decisions to involve the private sector in public services are driven by resource constraints and the general reform process.
