Abstract

Traffic congestions is one of the main problems for many cities especially in newly urbanizing countries worldwide. The issue of traffic congestions has major impact not only on the planning of the city, but also on many aspects such as residence overall well-being. Governments often try to address this issue through a number of initiatives, most important of which is promoting public transport in order to reduce the dependency on private cars in the city. This research analyzed state-led public transportation initiatives impact on addressing traffic congestion in developing countries through a case study of the Greater Cairo Region in Egypt. The research specifically focused on two state-led public transportation programs, namely the Great Cairo Transport Authority (CTA) program to improve the existing public transport services in GCR and the GCR underground metro program during the 1990s to early 2010s. The research found that although these programs were successful in limiting the increase of privately owned cars and taxies in GCR, they did not decrease traffic congestions due to a number of issues including malpractice, political and administrative corruption, and rapid population growth and increased population densities that almost doubled in the period from early 1990s to early 2010s.
分析发展中国家解决交通拥堵的公共交通计划
交通拥堵是许多城市面临的主要问题之一,尤其是在世界上新兴的城市化国家。交通拥堵问题不仅对城市规划产生重大影响,而且对居民整体幸福感等许多方面也产生重大影响。政府经常试图通过一系列举措来解决这个问题,其中最重要的是促进公共交通,以减少城市对私家车的依赖。本研究通过对埃及大开罗地区的案例研究,分析了国家主导的公共交通倡议对解决发展中国家交通拥堵的影响。该研究特别关注了两个国家主导的公共交通项目,即大开罗交通管理局(CTA)项目,该项目旨在改善GCR现有的公共交通服务,以及GCR地铁项目,该项目于20世纪90年代至2010年代初进行。研究发现,尽管这些计划成功地限制了GCR私人拥有的汽车和出租车的增加,但由于一些问题,包括不当行为、政治和行政腐败、人口快速增长和人口密度增加,从20世纪90年代初到2010年代初几乎翻了一番,它们并没有减少交通拥堵。
