摘要

非正规交通通常被描述为灵活、反应性强、需求响应性强、小众性强,并符合乘客需求。本文提出了非正式交通网络运营灵活性的扩展定义,并为理解路线和终点站位置的增长和变化提供了一个理论框架。根据对四个非洲城市的运输工人和监管机构的调查和采访,它认为,单独竞争的车辆会遇到协调故障,这限制了他们寻找利基服务的动机。同时,在具有本地化、基于路线的协会的城市中,多辆车的组织能够承担开发新服务地点和响应乘客需求的主动性和风险。这是通过一个复杂而渐进的过程来实现的,包括对司机和运营商的临时补贴、测试和衡量潜在需求,以及为新路线做广告。关键机制不是个体司机之间的竞争,他们通过各种机制谨慎管理内部竞争,公平分配收入机会,而是企业和协会之间的竞争。这不仅为交通协会参与规划和政策制定开辟了潜力,还揭示了现有网络和激励结构在覆盖范围和公平准入方面的局限性。

Is informal transport flexible?
Informal transport is often described as flexible, reactive, demand responsive, niche-filling, and in-tune with passenger needs. This paper proposes expanded definitions of flexibility in the operations of informal transport networks and presents a theoretical framing for understanding the growth and change in the locations of routes and terminals. Based on surveys and interviews of transport workers and regulators in four African cities, it argues that individually competing vehicles encounter coordination failures that limit their incentives for searching out niche services. Meanwhile, in cities with localized, route-based associations, organizations of multiple vehicles are able to take on the initiative and risk of developing new service locations and responding to passenger demand. This is done through a complex, gradual process that includes temporary subsidies to drivers and operators, testing and measuring potential demand, and advertising the new route. The key mechanism is in competition not between individual drivers, who manage internal competition carefully with a variety of mechanisms to distribute income opportunities fairly, but between firms and associations over territorial coverage. This not only opens potential for engaging transport associations in planning and policymaking, but also reveals limitations to the coverage and equity of access offered by existing networks and incentive structures.
