Unlike many industries where benchmarking has proven to be successful and straightforward, the multitude of the actors and interactions involved in urban transport systems may make benchmarking a complex endeavor. It was therefore important to analyze what has been done so far, propose basic benchmarking elements and test them, and identify lessons for a simple and sustainable urban transport benchmarking framework. A major component of this study was to investigate (a) the availability of data for benchmarking and (b) the value of benchmarking on the basis of limited data. The study therefore proposes a benchmarking framework for urban transport, focusing on the performance of public transport. Because the design of a benchmarking framework depends on the objectives sought from it, the study focused on the performance of public transport systems from the policymaker s perspective. The study included pilot application of the proposed framework in five cities from three continents Beijing, Bucharest, Cape Town, Colombo, and Singapore. The pilot application and comparative analysis helped gauge applicability and practicality of the proposed framework.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESSIBILITYACCIDENT RATESACCIDENTSAIRAIR POLLUTIONAIRPORTSALTERNATIVE TRANSPORTARTERIAL ROADSAUTOMOBILEAUTOMOBILE OWNERSHIPAVERAGE BUS FAREAVERAGE JOURNEY TIMEAVERAGE NUMBER OF TRIPSAVERAGE TRAVEL TIMEBICYCLESBUSBUS FAREBUS FARESBUS FLEETBUS FLEETSBUS LANESBUS PATRONAGEBUS ROUTEBUS SERVICEBUS SERVICESBUS SPEEDSBUS STOPSBUSESCARCAR TRAVELCAR TRIPCAR TRIPSCAR USAGECAR USECARSCLIMATE CHANGECOMMUTERSCOMMUTINGCONVENTIONAL BUSCOST OF TRAVELCOST OF TRAVEL BY CARDEMAND MANAGEMENTDOUBLE PARKINGDRAINAGEDRIVERSEMISSIONEMISSIONSFARE REVENUEFARESFATALITIESFATALITYFATALITY RATESFERRIESFINANCIAL PERFORMANCEFLEET SIZEGREENHOUSE GASGREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONGREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONSIMPACT OF TRANSPORTINFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENTINJURYINTERNATIONAL AIR TRANSPORTINTERNATIONAL AIR TRANSPORT ASSOCIATIONINTERSECTIONSJOURNEYJOURNEY TIMEJOURNEYSLAND TRANSPORTLAND USELAND USE PATTERNSLIGHT RAILMAIN TRANSPORTMAIN TRANSPORT MODEMETRO PASSENGERSMETRO SYSTEMSMETRO USAGEMINIBUSESMINISTRY OF TRANSPORTMOBILITYMOBILITY OBJECTIVESMODAL SHAREMODAL SPLITMODE OF TRANSPORTMODES OF TRANSPORTMOTORCYCLESOUTER RING ROADOUTER RING ROADSPASSENGER KILOMETREPASSENGER TRANSPORTPASSENGER-KILOMETERPASSENGERSPATRONAGE DATAPEAK HOURPEAK HOURSPEAK-HOURPEDESTRIANSPERSONAL TRIPSPOPULATION DENSITYPRIVATE CAR OWNERSHIPPRIVATE OPERATORSPRIVATE VEHICLEPRIVATE VEHICLE OWNERSHIPPRIVATE VEHICLE TRAVELPRIVATE VEHICLESPUBLIC TRANSITPUBLIC TRANSPORTPUBLIC TRANSPORT AUTHORITYPUBLIC TRANSPORT CAPACITYPUBLIC TRANSPORT MODEPUBLIC TRANSPORT MODESPUBLIC TRANSPORT OPERATORSPUBLIC TRANSPORT PASSENGERPUBLIC TRANSPORT PATRONAGEPUBLIC TRANSPORT PERFORMANCEPUBLIC TRANSPORT POLICYPUBLIC TRANSPORT SECTORPUBLIC TRANSPORT SERVICEPUBLIC TRANSPORT SERVICE QUALITYPUBLIC TRANSPORT SERVICESPUBLIC TRANSPORT SHAREPUBLIC TRANSPORT SYSTEMPUBLIC TRANSPORT SYSTEMSPUBLIC TRANSPORT TRAVELPUBLIC TRANSPORT TRIPSPUBLIC TRANSPORT USAGEPUBLIC TRANSPORT VEHICLEPUBLIC TRANSPORT VEHICLESQUALITY OF TRAVELQUALITY TRAVELRAILRAIL INFRASTRUCTURERAIL PATRONAGERAIL PLANRAIL ROUTERAILWAYRING ROADRING ROADSROADROAD ACCIDENT FATALITIESROAD CONDITIONSROAD INFRASTRUCTUREROAD NETWORKROAD SAFETYROADSROUTEROUTESSAFETY DATASPEEDSSUBURBSSURFACE TRANSPORTSUSTAINABLE TRANSPORTTAXISTRAFFICTRAFFIC CONGESTIONTRAFFIC LANESTRAINSTRAMTRANSFER FACILITIESTRANSIT SYSTEMTRANSPORT AGENCIESTRANSPORT COMMUNITYTRANSPORT EXPENDITURETRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURETRANSPORT MARKETTRANSPORT MODESTRANSPORT NETWORKTRANSPORT PLANNINGTRANSPORT PROBLEMSTRANSPORT PROFESSIONALSTRANSPORT QUALITYTRANSPORT RESEARCHTRANSPORT SECTORTRANSPORT SERVICE PROVIDERSTRANSPORT SERVICE PROVISIONTRANSPORT STRATEGIESTRANSPORT STRATEGYTRANSPORT STUDIESTRANSPORT SUPPLYTRANSPORT SYSTEM PERFORMANCETRANSPORTATIONTRANSPORTATION RESEARCHTRAVEL DEMANDTRAVEL DISTANCETRAVEL MODETRAVEL PATTERNSTRAVEL SPEEDTRAVEL TIMETRAVELERSTRIPTRIP DATATRIPSTRIPS BY CARTRIPS BY PUBLICTRUNK ROADSTYPES OF VEHICLESUNDERGROUNDURBAN INFRASTRUCTUREURBAN PUBLIC TRANSPORTURBAN SPRAWLURBAN TRANSPORTURBAN TRANSPORT PLANNINGURBAN TRANSPORT POLICIESURBAN TRANSPORT POLICYURBAN TRANSPORT SECTORURBAN TRANSPORT SERVICESURBAN TRANSPORT STRATEGIESURBAN TRANSPORT SYSTEMURBAN TRANSPORT SYSTEMSURBANIZATIONVEHICLE CRASHESVEHICLE EMISSIONSVEHICLE FUELVEHICLE FUEL CONSUMPTIONVEHICLE KILOMETERSVEHICLE OCCUPANCYVEHICLE SPEEDVEHICLE USEVEHICLE-KILOMETERSWALKINGWALKING DISTANCEWEALTHWORK TRIPWORK TRIPSWorld Bank10.1596/12847
