Early rail networks were standalone transport systems that lacked integration with other infrastructure sectors. This led to inefficiencies over time as some routes became overused while others were underused. In the 20th century, many rail networks failed to effectively integrate with road networks and prioritized road freight over rail. Notable short-sighted decisions like the Beeching cuts in Britain in the 1960s closed nearly a third of the rail network without anticipating future needs. Modern rail networks require forward planning over decades to fully integrate passenger and freight rail with other transport modes like roads, ports, and airports. Commonwealth Infrastructure Partners advises on strategic planning and engineering best practices to optimize rail development and integration with other infrastructure.
CIP partners from the rail sector will advise on the optimum development of the rail network taking into account factors of economic and social development

Transantiago was a major public transit reform project in Santiago, Chile that aimed to modernize the bus system and integrate fares. Its implementation in 2007 was flawed as infrastructure, technology, and operator readiness were incomplete. This led to service breakdowns and low approval ratings. Since then, improvements have been made such as expanding bus-only lanes and fleet, though fare evasion and deficits remain challenges. Key lessons are the need for proper planning, phased implementation, user information, and a single coordinating authority. While far from its original goals, Transantiago has formalized operations and reduced environmental impacts, showing potential with continued effort.
