Governments that use public-private partnerships (PPPs) to build infrastructure usually assume contingent liabilities relating, for example, to early contract termination or to debt and revenue guarantees. Deciding whether to assume these liabilities and, if so, determining how to value, monitor, and limit them is difficult for most governments. This report describes how governments in Australia, Chile, and South Africa have tackled these problems, and discusses whether other governments, including those with less administrative capacity, should adopt similar practices.

Act no. 36 of 1998

The new MyCiTi Integrated Rapid Transit System will largely displace the current road-based minibus-taxi and scheduled bus operators. Incorporating them in the new system is important in order to maintain livelihoods, but is also required because in terms of current legislation existing operators cannot be forced to give up their operating licenses. A key issue here is the compensation of existing operators as the new system is introduced. This policy sets out the principles involved in determining the level of compensation of existing operators.

Chapter 10 describes the mechanism for industry transition from existing to new vehicle operators. An important component of the business plan involves incorporating existing service providers as operators of the new system.
