Title: AN EVALUATION OF THE EFFECTS OF DEREGULATION POLICIES ON THE SANTIAGO CHILE PUBLIC TRANSPORT SYSTEM
Abstract: During the last seven years the Chilean government has implemented a set of deregulation policies for the public transport sector. Thus, free entry and exit have been granted to the different public transport modes and service fares have been freely determined by operators. In Santiago, these measures have had several consequences over the main components of the system (bus undertakings, fleet, routes and public transport users which represent approximately 80% of the total number of travellers). This report analyses and evaluates those measures. The institutional framework in which the system was inserted before and after implementation of the deregulation policies is described, together with the system's characteristics and operation. The deregulation policies implemented are analysed and their impacts discussed, particularly their impacts over the quality of service, total capacity of the system, evolution in fares and changes in efficiency. For the covering abstract of the seminar see IRRD 286767.
