Urban public transport by bus and minibus is one of the most important local public services. In Türkiye, the private sector has a significant share in public transport with thyre weels. However, the current public transport legislation does not meet the needs of the municipalities. Private operators have become rent-seekers in economic terms due to regulations that prevent new entries to the market. The transfer of urban rent to the private sector leads to loss of welfare and waste of public resources. Municipalities that want to imrprove service quality and provide universal service are either forced to bear high investment costs or face resistance from private operators. Inspired by the European experience, this book proposes a new model for public transport on tyres. According to the model, which is based on private operators providing public transport services after a transition period, market entry should be facilitated and competitive tenders should be the basis. Thus, the drawbacks of the current system will be eliminated and public resources will be used efficiently.
