  • Abstract:
    This paper describes a bold effort by the Rio de Janeiro State Government to increase private sector participation, reduce operating subsidies and set the foundations for long-term sustainability of its urban transport sector. This effort was undertaken with the help of three World Bank-financed loans: The Rio de Janeiro Metropolitan Transport Decentralization loan, which assisted in the transfer of federally-owned suburban railways to the State Government; the Rio de Janeiro State Reform and Privatization loan, which assisted the State in the privatization and concessioning of a number of its enterprises; and the Rio de Janeiro Mass Transit loan, which supported the reorganization of the sector and the concession of the Rio suburban railways (Flumitrens). Most of the urban transport sector reforms have been implemented. The lessons learned from the implementation process adopted by the State as well as the results obtained so far suggest that political decisiveness, transparency, and ingenuity in devising incentives are key to privatizing urban rail transport systems. But they also show that not having a credible staff redundancy program may seriously reduce the benefits expected from the concessions. Annex, figures, tables. 25 p.
