Sri Lanka Transport (A): The Bus Industry Case Solution
In 1996, Sri Lanka had a mixed private and public bus system, with about one third of passengers taken by public companies and two thirds by private. The private buses weren't bringing in to replace their buses and consequently there were many criticisms of security and overcrowding issues. The public buses were making do mainly because they received free buses from the authorities. Enhancing bus service was vital for the state since buses carry about 80 percent of motorized passenger excursions. The government was contemplating various reforms including consolidation and fare increases of little private and public operators. This case can be used to discuss the politics and justification for privatization and regulation.
