Multiple

PT strategies

15. • 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
