market” Gross or net cost tendered franchises

The World Bank
Failure of the traditional supply arrangements
The main reasons for the failure of traditional formal sector public transport services in developing countries include:
Reliance on inefficient public sector monopoly suppliers (vide high cost of BMTA in Bangkok)
Unfinanced legally obligated fare concessions destroying financial viability (Russia)
Excessive political intervention on service structures and fares (many African countries)
Competition from informal sector (Argentina, Brazil) Failure of the fiscal system (Central Asia)

Characteristics of Free Entry Systems
high incentive to innovate
high incentive to predate
danger of associations
danger of over-supply (?)
difficult to co-ordinate

The World Bank
Competition “In” or “For” the Market?
London costs have fallen as much, and patronage less than elsewhere
Predation seems to be more difficult in competition for the market
“Integration” is easier with franchising
![Page 13: The World Bank Session 9 Public transport service reform](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051018/56649ebc5503460f94bc4ef8/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
The World Bank
Elements of a Managed Market System
Public control of the right to supply
Separate planning from operation
Depoliticise system planning
Commercialise operational management
Develop competitive market structures

The World Bank
Performance Agreements
Put relationship between government and supplier on a formal basis, but
Tend to be badly enforced
Have only weak incentives to efficiency
Are best seen as either
• appropriate for a government agency
• an interim stage to concessioning
Main weakness is an absence of competition
![Page 16: The World Bank Session 9 Public transport service reform](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051018/56649ebc5503460f94bc4ef8/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Management contracts
Public sector define enterprise objectives
Public sector retain ownership of assets
Private management makes commercial judgements
Private management deploys resources
Payment partly fixed partly by results

The World Bank
System Concessions
Long history in France
Delegation of substantial commercial freedom to operators
Popular for fixed track systems
Very successful in Argentine railways
Less competition than franchising
![Page 20: The World Bank Session 9 Public transport service reform](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051018/56649ebc5503460f94bc4ef8/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

The World Bank
Characteristics of route franchises
separation of planning from operations
small supply packages
short term contracts (3-7 years)
fixed payments, based on bid
![Page 22: The World Bank Session 9 Public transport service reform](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051018/56649ebc5503460f94bc4ef8/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
The World Bank
Net Cost v Gross Cost Franchising
Net cost franchising assigns both revenue and cost risk to the operator, GC only cost risk.
Net cost gives greater operator incentive to revenue generation
But UK experience suggests that gross cost
• Generates more bids per tender
• Generates more bids from new entrants
• Reduces cost to the franchising authority
![Page 23: The World Bank Session 9 Public transport service reform](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051018/56649ebc5503460f94bc4ef8/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
The World Bank
Requirements for gross cost franchises
structural preparation
efficient way of securing revenues
performance monitoring
control of collusion
![Page 24: The World Bank Session 9 Public transport service reform](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051018/56649ebc5503460f94bc4ef8/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
The World Bank
Advantages of gross cost tendering
consistent with any fares scheme
consistent with quality control
consistent with modal integration
generates more competition
![Page 25: The World Bank Session 9 Public transport service reform](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051018/56649ebc5503460f94bc4ef8/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

The World Bank
Characteristics of net cost franchises
revenues kept by operators
high incentive to generate traffic
potential incentive to predate
less quantity monitoring required
![Page 27: The World Bank Session 9 Public transport service reform](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051018/56649ebc5503460f94bc4ef8/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

The World Bank
The Issue of Monopolisation
Initial efforts to prevent control on
privatisation process
Application of monopoly legislation to the bus industry
Predation is difficult to define and control
Concentration is occurring in U.K.

The World Bank
Failures in reformLack of informed commitment
Reserving provision of “social” services for the public sector;
Restriction of eligibility for subsidies to public enterprises;
Arbitrariness and inconsistency in regulation
Failure to create a secure contractual or legal basis for private sector operations;
Limiting competition to the provision of services by the private sector with small vehicles only.
![Page 31: The World Bank Session 9 Public transport service reform](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051018/56649ebc5503460f94bc4ef8/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
The World Bank
Failures of reformProtection of interests vested
Over specification of regulation
Continuation of preferential treatment to public sector operators in competitive regimes;
Unwillingness to offer any form of subsidy to private sector operators;
Maintenance of a public sector franchise holder, using private operators as sub-franchisees
Exemption of state owned enterprises from regulation;
Reservation of favored, scarce, depot and terminal locations for public sector operators.

The World Bank
Failures of reformUnrealistic expectations
Fares can be controlled without subsidy ( Kingston, Jamaica).
Operators will be self-monitoring (Santiago, Chile).
Franchising reduces the need for detailed supervisioin (Almaty, Kazakhstan).
Service standards can be set at whatever level you desire (Dhaka, Bangladesh).
Market pressures will generate the right industry structure (Sri Lanka; Santiago);
Privatization can solve the problem without regulatory reform (Sri Lanka, Kuwait).

Limitations of the managed market approach in developing countries
Inadequate administrative competence/probity
Limited private sector experience
Failure of the rule of law

Recognising social issues – two tier systems
Mobilising the informal sector
Managing the associations
