| Summary: | This Transport Note has been prepared as
an adjunct to the 2006-07 updating of the World Bank's
Railways Databases. It uses the databases for inferences on
aggregate trends as well as other Bank documents and sources
of policy information. It provides a high level view of
traffic and policy developments. Particular emphasis is
given to the Bank's six regions of operations at a time
when the Bank's Transport Strategy is being updated
with the intention of increasing the attention given to the
role of railways in development. For completeness, important
policy developments in the higher income countries are also
summarized. The Note has been prepared by Paul Amos,
Transport Adviser to the World Bank and Lou Thompson,
Railway Consultant, and formerly Railways Adviser to the
World Bank. While the content has drawn upon the broad
experience and expertise of the Bank in the railway sector,
any views expressed herein are strictly those of the authors. |
