Training on Transport Economics and Public Service Vehicle (PSV) Regulation
Course Overview
What is Transport Economics and PSV Regulation?
Transport economics examines the allocation of resources, pricing, demand, and efficiency within transport systems. Public Service Vehicle (PSV) regulation focuses on the legal, policy, and operational frameworks governing buses, minibuses, taxis, and other public transport services to ensure safety, fairness, and service quality.
Many public transport systems operate with inefficient pricing models, weak regulatory enforcement, and fragmented governance. This leads to unsafe operations, inconsistent service quality, revenue leakage, and poor commuter experiences.
This course provides a structured framework combining transport economics principles with practical regulatory strategies. Participants gain tools to design pricing models, strengthen compliance, improve service delivery, and support sustainable public transport systems.
Key Concepts Covered
• Principles of transport economics (supply, demand, elasticity)
• Pricing models and fare structures
• Cost analysis and revenue management
• PSV regulatory frameworks and compliance
• Licensing, safety, and operational standards
• Market structure and competition in transport
• Policy design and governance
Participants will apply skills to:
• Design efficient and sustainable fare systems
• Improve regulation and compliance of PSV operators
• Optimize revenue and cost structures
• Enhance service quality and safety standards
• Support policy development and reform
• Strengthen governance in public transport systems
By the end of the course, participants will be able to apply economic principles to transport systems, design effective regulatory frameworks, and improve efficiency, safety, and service delivery in PSV operations.
