Abstract

SUMMARY The development of public transport in' second order Indian cities (with a population of 0.5 to 1.0 million) thas followed different paths. Some cities hav e adopted a more conventional approach in which State operated stage-carriage buses are the main carrier. Others have left the provision of public transport services to the activities of private enterprise, which has led to domination of the sector by intermediate public transport (minibuses and rickshaws). This paper compares and contrasts the provision of public transport in three second order cities in India which reflect these wide differences. Performance and costs are compared in order to assess some of the relative merits of these different applroaches.
