Abstract

For many years, the public bus services in Israel were provided by two monopolistic companies. In 1997, the Government of Israel decided to promote a comprehensive reform of these services to improve the use of existing resources and service to current users, and to attract new passengers. As part of the reform, implemented in 2000, the market was opened to competition for new companies through competitive tendering. In addition, comprehensive changes have been made in the regulatory structure in the field, for the implementation and supervision of the reform, which combines the public and private sectors. In this article, we will present the achievements of the reform and the shortcomings that still need to be improved.
