Based on the recent World Bank urban transport strategy review Cities on the
move, the paper examines the critical differences between the urban transport
problems facing cities in the developing and industrialized worlds. Premature
congestion and deteriorating environmental safety and security conditions are seen as
endemic in the developing country cities. Although the proportion of urban space

1. Introduction
The aim of this paper is to examine the ways in which, the extent to which and the
reasons for which the urban transport problems of the developing countries differ from
those of the already industrialized countries. For this purpose, the industrialized countries
are taken to be the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD)
member countries, excluding Mexico, while developing countries are taken to be those
that qualify as borrowing members of the World Bank, including the transitional
economies of Eastern Europe and Central Asia.
The cities of these developing and transitional economies inevitably differ greatly in
economic, political and demographic characteristics. Income differences largely deter-
mine vehicle ownership. The amount of road infrastructure also tends to grow with
income, but at a slower rate than vehicle ownership. Political history inevitably moulds the
structure of cities, the most notable differences being those between former socialist
planned cities, many of which had widely dispersed pockets of high-density residences
served by mass transit, and those where market forces played a greater role in shaping land
use. Rapid population growth tends to be associated with below average proportions of
land space devoted to circulation.
These three variables yield a taxonomy of city types that partly explains the type of
transport systems which they have acquired (table 1). For example, relatively rich
countries are highly motorized and congested, but also more able to afford rail-based mass
transit systems. Where growth has been very rapid, the development of mass transit is less
likely to have occurred. However, former socialist cities that have suffered stagnating

incomes are more likely to have a mass transit system than income alone would suggest.
Dominating all, however, are the influences of city size, which affects average trip lengths,
and density, which determines trip numbers per unit of space. Large, dense cities have the
highest levels of traffic congestion and the worst environmental impacts from road
traffic.

conditions have impacts much wider than the direct injury and trauma suffered by
victims and their families, who usually have neither insurance compensation nor a
social security safety net to protect them. The very perception of vulnerability
influences the travel patterns of a much wider spectrum of people who avoid vulnerable
modes such as cycling or vulnerable times of travel. The diminishing trip rates now
being experienced in some of the larger South American cities such as Sao Paulo have
been partly attributed to insecurity.

year in 3 million vehicles, of which over 2 million operate in cities, the traditional local
monopoly bus operators, whether private or publicly owned, have now mostly collapsed
(Gwilliam 2001). In Africa, they have largely been replaced by a fragmented small vehicle
paratransit sector, while in Eastern Europe and central Asia a similar process of decline is
at various stages of completion (for further details, see Gwilliam 2000). The main
difference in the public transport story is that the decline has often been precipitated by
fare control policies, which were ostensibly devised to protect the poor.

contribute to that, as can the removal of subsidies to the megacityincluding transport
subsidies.2
considerations of the overall structure of the urban transport system that matters. Most
critically, the character and capacity of infrastructure provision needs to be tailored to the
nature and density of the planned or anticipated developments. One of the defining
features of cities widely believed to have been most successful in managing the
relationship between transport and land use, such as Curitiba, Brazil, Zurich, Switzerland,
and Singapore, is the early existence of an integrated land use and transport structure plan
in support of which a wide range of sectoral policies were employed.
The structuring of the road network itself is also very important. Local distribution of
traffic and longer distance trunk movements within and between towns do not mix well,
and a given amount of road space will always give better performance if it is organized
hierarchically to try to separate functions. Some cities such as Bangkok and Manila suffer
particularly badly from the absence of an appropriate structure of local distribution
capacity. So it is the management and use of the space devoted to transport, rather than the
simple proportion of land devoted to roads, that is critical to system performance.
been successfully concessioned. But the scope for private financing of new roads through
tolls is limited by the need to limit access, while shadow toll systems, as developed in
some European countries, do not help because they leave costs primarily on budget. Pure
private finance of new urban rail projects has not yet been successful in any case in a
developing country.
Both for private sector road and rail investments significant operational difficulties
have also been experienced in cities such as Kuala Lumpur, Manila and Bangkok because
of the failure to integrate the private systems effectively within a comprehensive urban
transport and development strategy. Purely opportunistic finance is thus to be avoided.
Unless the private developments conform to a general structure plan they may impose
unforeseen, and sometimes very significant, contingent costs on the public budget.
Successful accommodation of privately financed infrastructure has hitherto been seriously
hampered by the inadequacy of the planning and regulatory institutions.
in terms of reforming the refinery processes. Particularly in countries where the carbon
component of vehicular particulate matter remains high, concentrating on sulphur
standards may not be a cost-effective way to mitigate particulate emissions from diesel
engines.
A particular problem in cleaning fuel in developing countries is that many refineries
are owned by the government, which may resist requiring changes in fuel quality that will
increase cost, or will embrace them only while maintaining import protection through
restrictions or high tariffs. In fact, the net cost to society of improving fuel quality by
importing superior fuels may be lower than the costs resulting from use of domestically
manufactured fuels with less stringent specifications. On the other hand, the imposition of
high fuel specifications may not be a cost-effective solution in countries, such as those in
South Asia, where the vehicle fleet is dominated by old, poorly maintained vehicles or
where transport fuels are routinely adulterated.
Many countries pin their hopes of improving urban air quality on the introduction of
alternative fuels. For example, all taxis in Buenos Aires already operate on compressed
natural gas (CNG) and the Indian High Court recently instigated a process of
Downloaded By: [Consortio Colombia] At: 19:24 28 March 2011
replacement of diesel by CNG for buses and all pre-1990 auto-rickshaws and taxis in
highly polluted New Delhi. CNG is a relatively clean fuel, available in abundance in
many developing countries such as Argentina, Bangladesh and Thailand. Moreover, city
gas distribution networks already exist in many large cities in Bangladesh, Brazil,
Colombia, Indonesia, Pakistan, Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union. However,
conversion to CNG has its difficulties. CNG vehicles are up to 30% more expensive to
buy and pay a 3035% energy premium over diesel vehicles. Their range is also
substantially less than that of a diesel vehicle. Moreover, though good retrofit kits (e.g.
in Argentina) work efficiently, many do not. Serious problems were encountered with
bus conversions in New Delhi. Maintenance can also be a problem: of a fleet of 40
CNG buses in Jakarta, half were out of operation in mid-2001 due to maintenance
problems.
Other alternative fuels are even less attractive. Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) is
easier to distribute and store than CNG4 and has been effectively used in the conversion
of the three-wheeler tuk-tuks in Bangkok. But LPG must be stored under pressure both
inside the vehicle and in the fuel depots requiring expensive pressurized tanks and special
refuelling equipment. The required investments in LPG distribution and refuelling stations
have not been made in most developing countries. True biofuels (i.e. those without
substantial fossil fuel use hidden in harvesting and processing) would give a real reduction
in GHG emissions, but are still elusive at costs competitive with gasoline or diesel.
Hydrogen fuel-cell buses are already being used in trial projects, including a programme
funded by UNDP, but they are very expensive and unlikely to have early application in
developing countries. Even conventional electric vehicles that have obvious attractions as
urban vehicles, whether powered directly, as in the case of electric trains or trolleybuses,
or indirectly by batteries, as in the case of some buses, small vans and cars, are presently
uneconomic.
For substitutes to be attractive in the developing world, they must not only be seen to
address locally perceived environmental problems, but also to be economically viable at
the individual and national levels. Seen in that light, hybrid diesel/electric vehicles, which
are now being developed with some success and tested in industrialized countries, may
have the best prospects. While their cost is similar to that of a heavy CNG vehicle, they
can give a 30% energy saving compared with a conventional diesel vehicle. With high fuel
prices, they may thus combine environmental and economic benefit.
Urban transport in developing countries 205
effective than a decentralized system with a large number of participating private garages
(Kojima and Bacon 2002). Wider use of spot-checking equipment capable of identifying
the main problems from any relevant vehicle-type, and of fixed I/M stations for more
thorough examination and follow-up of vehicles identified, may increase the technical
effectiveness of a control programme while an appropriate system of fees and fines could
make such a system self-financing.
Vehicle scrappage and replacement incentive payments can encourage the early
retirement of high polluters and have been tried in several countries.5 They have been
most successful when directed to buses and heavy goods vehicle markets, as in Hungary,
in which it is common to replace old vehicles with new. In the private car sector where
vehicles are typically changed more frequently for a vehicle of only a slightly newer
vintage, they have been more problematical (Gwilliam 2002).
New motorcycle technology can reduce pollution. The difference in both capital and
operating cost between two- and four-stroke motorcycles is rapidly being eroded, and
Chinese and Japanese manufacturers are already concentrating their sales efforts on four-
strokes. The very large Vietnamese fleet is already predominantly four stroke. However,
new technology does not deal with the problem of the high average age and low
replacement rate of vehicles currently in use. Nor does technology deal with the safety
problem. Although compulsory use of helmets could reduce deaths and injury
substantially, it has hitherto been very difficult to enforce, even in Vietnam where the
problem is most acute. The motorcycle is likely to present the most challenging of all the
transport problems facing Asia in the next decade.
It has been estimated that increasing the average speed in city traffic from 10 to 20 km/
h could cut CO2 emissions by nearly 40%. Increasing vehicle speed from 12 to 15 to
30 km/h in Bangkok and Kuala Lumpur was estimated to be equivalent to installing three-
way catalytic converters in 50% of the cars in these cities. Many of the traffic-
management devices used in industrialized countries such as coordinated traffic signal
systems, one way systems, etc. can be used to this end in the developing world.
Unfortunately, as in industrialized countries, this may generate greater car use in the
longer term.
Some forms of traffic management may avoid this effect. For example, traffic-calming
devices, which slow traffic down but do not stop it, may also result in cleaner and safer
traffic. But more generally, experience suggests that traffic management without traffic
restraint is more effective in catering for increased traffic volumes at given speeds than in
securing increased speed or reduced pollution.
Under environmental pressure, many developing country cities have begun to
recognize this. The hoy no circula scheme, first imposed in Mexico City in 1989 and
subsequently modified or extended in other cities such as Sao Paulo and Bogota, excludes
a proportion of vehicles, selected by registration number, on particular days. In the short-
term this has yielded dramatic reductions in traffic volume during the first months of
implementation, but in the longer term it appears to have been undermined as some
households purchase an additional vehicle or retain an old and polluting vehicle that
would have otherwise been replaced to avoid the effect of the restrictions. Further
focusing restraint to exclude all vehicles from particularly sensitive areas (pedestrian-only
city shopping centres or residential areas) is also increasingly being provided for in urban
planning in developing countries.
In some of the very largest cities, buses, which are the transport mode of choice for
the poor, are perceived to be the most significant contributors to pollution. Economic
liberalization of services in cities such as in Lima, Mexico City and Santiago in the late
1980s has been accentuated the problem by contributing to reduced vehicle size, poor
vehicle quality and undesirable operating practices. That is not inevitable, however. For
example, the Chilean government quickly reversed the adverse effects in Santiago by
replacing competition in the market by competition for the market, in the form of a
competitively tendered franchising system using environmental quality of the vehicle as
one of the selection criteria. More generally, buses must be made part of the solution rather
Urban transport in developing countries 207
than part of the problem by giving them priority in use of road space. Segregated busways,
common in Brazilian cities, or even more highly integrated priority bus networks, as in
Curitiba, Brazil and Bogota, have already shown themselves able to reduce bus emissions
directly and influence car ownership and use (Gwilliam and Kojima 2002).
evidence that the lack of adequate medical facilities contributes to the high level of
fatalities in developing country cities (TRL and Ross Silcock 2000). Many lives could be
saved if medical attention were provided within the golden hour following an accident.
Emergency service response time can often be improved at modest cost by simple
measures such as strategic positioning of emergency service centres (perhaps first-aid
stations at fuel stations), provision of an emergency telephone number and more
widespread provision of first-aid training. To be effective this approach would need
administrative support in the form of the establishment of a control centre, implementation
of ITS applications for efficient service control, and upgrading of hospital emergency
departments. Usually inhibiting such developments is an institutional black hole into
which responsibility for road accident medical services too often falls. To fill this gap, it
will be necessary at the very least to set up an emergency medical services committee and
create a mechanism, possibly funded by insurance companies, to cover the expenses in
bringing injured persons to hospital.
The more general problem is that of jurisdictional cooperation, particularly as the
police often have such a bad image in developing countries that both citizens and the

international institutions may be unwilling to support them. This has been addressed at
the national level in some countries by the creation of a National Road Safety Agency
directly responsible to the Prime Ministers office such as in Vietnam and India. Even
this has been of limited success because of the difficulty in getting the lower levels of
government to give parallel commitment. However, similar institutional arrangements at
the municipal level, with direct responsibility to the head of the city government, have

one-third to one-half as many motorized trips per capita as the non-poor. Moreover, in
most poor countries private motorized vehicle trips are restricted to the top quintile of the
population, with the motorcycle extending this down to the middle classes in middle-
income countries. As a consequence, richer groups spend a higher proportion of their
income on transport than most of those with lower incomes in virtually all countries.
However, this does not mean that transport is not part of the problem of poverty. The
low transport expenditure of some of the poor often reflects the fact that they are forced
to accept very precarious living conditions on barely habitable or accessible land in order
to be able to access work. For example, many favellas in Brazilian cities are relatively
close to areas of potential employment, but are unserved by formal transport providers.9
At the other extreme, many of the poor live remotely in order to inhabit affordable space,
and thus incur both high travel costs and long travel times. Twenty per cent of workers in
Mexico City spend more than 3 hours travelling to and from work each day, and 10%
spend more than 5 hours (Schwela and Zali 1999). Such peripheral locations typically
involve exclusion from a whole range of urban facilities, a deprivation only partly
overcome by family or neighbourhood solidarity (Cusset 1998).

Good transport may also assist the poor indirectly by improving their prospects of, and
access to, employment. World Bank research indicates that the incomes of the poorest
quintile of the population vary in direct proportion to national income and there is no
evidence of a lag between increases of overall incomes and the incomes of poor people to
suggest that benefits accrue to poor people only in a prolonged process of trickle down
(Dollar and Kraay 2002). Aggregate level analysis of poverty and growth also indicates
that much previous public social sector expenditure has been poorly targeted, having little
demonstrable effect on either growth or distribution, while, in contrast, policies to
improve market functioning have yielded proportionate benefits to poor people. The most
pro-poor policies appear to be those associated with reducing government expenditures
and stabilizing inflation. Insofar as governments view urban public transport policy as an
instrument of social policy, it is thus important not only to be concerned with the
effectiveness of urban transport infrastructure and service planning and investment in
targeting the needs of poor people, but also to consider the indirect effect of urban
transport pricing and financing policies on the poor through their impact on government
expenditures and macro stabilization.
agencies is also being widely advocated as a means of addressing the decline of public
transport service in countries of the former Soviet Union. Competitive tendering of
services has been introduced in some central Asian republics and is now beginning to
occur in some Russian cities.
The more commercial approach has the advantage of a lower fiscal burden as well as
giving clear signals and incentives to operators to adjust services and fares in such a way
as to maintain their equipment in operation, but may involve the loss of internal cross-
subsidy, the abandonment of some social services and increase in fares. In principle, all
these problems can be minimized by good design and administration of the competitive
regime so that the best possible service can be achieved for the resources available. The
difficulty, particularly in developing countries without a firm institutional basis for
strategic transport planning, is that there is no clear channel through which the more
strategic and structural considerations concerning the role of public transport in urban
development strategy, and the response to the various externalities that impinge on urban
public transport, can be addressed.
and direct, and both links and intersections perceived as safe, the impediments to cycling
will continue to be strong. A comprehensive approach may be embodied in a cycle master
plan, such as recently published for Bogota. Such a plan needs to include the provision of
adequately segregated safe infrastructure, direct routings without major intersection
conflicts with motorized traffic, secure bicycle parking to obviate theft and financially
affordable means of vehicle procurement.
Institutionally, provision for non-motorized transport in urban areas is usually a
municipal responsibility, though the government of South Africa recently established a
national bicycle transport partnership called shova lula to provide assisted finance. Even
secure bicycle parking, which is provided commercially in some industrialized countries,
is difficult to finance in developing countries. Where the mode share of NMT is large, a
special purpose multidisciplinary and interdepartmental team within the municipal
authority to take initiatives, plan and implement interventions may be effective. Where the
share is small, it may be more appropriate to concentrate on ensuring that local officers are
well trained to recognize the implications of their infrastructure or traffic management
plans for non-motorized transport.
7. Policy implications
What has been described above is an excess demand for urban road spacewith
adverse congestion and environmental impactsco-existing with an underfunding of the
very modespublic and non-motorized transport, which could, if appropriately planned
and used, attenuate both congestion and environmental problems. It has recently been
called the fundamental paradox of urban transport.
That paradoxical outcome has three important roots:

1. For example, the Korean green belt policy for Seoul appears to have produced
perverse density gradients, high housing costs and travel distances, and arguably has
militated particularly against the interests of the poor.
2. For example, it has been estimated that a 1% increase in the share of Gross
Domestic Product (GDP) spent on government transport and communications investments
is associated with a 10% reduction in primacy, i.e. barriers to internal trade reinforce
primacy (Krugman 1991).

to be higher inside houses than outside.
4. LPG requires pressures ranging from 4 to 13 bar compared with 200 bar for
CNG.
5. Empirical evidence from Spain suggests that changes in the I/M programme may
have had considerable effects on trends in first-time vehicle registration (European
Conference of Ministers of Transport 1999).

Development) funded the preparation of the manual Towards Safer Roads in Developing
Countries, which has been widely disseminated both in the English and Spanish versions.
The Asian Development Bank has funded road safety guidelines for the Asia and Pacific
region, and country-specific road safety engineering manuals have been developed in a
number of countries such as Malaysia, Indonesia, Bangladesh and Kenya. IDB has
undertaken similar work in Latin America (Gold 1999).

tough and incorruptible in the enforcement of traffic rules in La Paz and Lima. They might
have a wider role in respect of sexual harassment.

average one bicycle a year stolen from it, and that 62% of these thefts occurred in
residential areas where the bicycles were both locked and registered with the police.
