Abstract
Description
1 Background This book deals with the regulation and reform of public transport services
provided by small operators in Sub-Saharan African cities. How these services are operated,
and the role they play in broader passenger transport systems, are not well understood.
Indeed, the terminology used to describe the services themselves is inconsistent. In this
book the term 'paratransit'is used (see Box 1.1).
