THE THEMATIC ANALYSIS OF THE PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP: A FOCUS ON THE BUS-RAPID TRANSPORT IN TANZANIA

Abstract

Defective infrastructures and transport challenges that hinder citizens in pursuing their urban livelihoods may even be interpreted as impeding justice relating to their “right to the city”, i.e., using their rights by accessing city resources through affordable and efficiently performing Bus Rapid Transport (BRT) services as they are constitutionally deemed as master of destiny in the country. This justice however, can be deprived by inability of the Government to run such services, therefore inviting the private partner through transparent procurement as it is assumed that by procuring private party, there are significant risks and responsibilities borne by the private agent under a long-term relationship which would enhance accessibility, affordability and efficiency in BRT services. This however, requires thorough structuring of government pay PPP as the case may be user-pay PPP. This article explores as to whether, BRT has been a unique property to resolve transport challenges in urban cities and consequently depicts as to how such property could be accessible, affordable and efficient to swift justice relating to ownership of resources.
