Multiple autonomous players – various PT strategies

•  Increasing local autonomy – lack of tradition in free-will cooperation

•  Increasing power for local governments – a conservative public finance legislation

•  Lack of trust in PT private initiative

•  Better educated PT clients – lack of transit-oriented development policy

•  Missing suburban light and heavy rail services - government-centric railway and underground transport policy

Thank you for attention!
