However, the report focuses on the Governments two main concerns: the urban bus and taxi sector, which performs poorly and is a major cause of the growing traffic congestion in Yemeni cities, particularly in Sana'a; and the inter-city freight sector, which does not presently develop in ways that adequately serve the economy. Sana'a is indeed a large and fast growing city where public transport has become critical. Its population was 1.75 million in 2004, while forecasts are for 2.8 million for 2014 and 3.8 million for 2024. Yet, Sana'a's public transport system performs poorly. Similarly, the efficiency of inter-city freight transport is low and it does not promote trade, competition, and low price of basic commodities as it should. In addition, Yemen faces a very high rate of road accidents: in 2006, the number of recorded accidents was about 13,000, resulting in about 2,700 deaths and 18,000 injuries. The current legal framework for the regulation of city and inter-city transport is contained in law 33 of 2003 which created an open market for passenger and freight transport services, replacing the previous monopolies held by syndicates. Tariffs for road freight and passenger services are unregulated.CC BY 3.0 IGOAGGRESSIVE DRIVINGAIRAIR POLLUTIONAUTOMOBILEAVERAGE TRIP LENGTHAVERAGE VEHICLE OCCUPANCYBAGGAGEBUSBUS COMPANIESBUS FLEETBUS FRANCHISESBUS INDUSTRYBUS LINESBUS MARKETBUS NETWORKBUS OPERATIONBUS OPERATIONSBUS OPERATORBUS OPERATORSBUS OWNERSBUS ROUTEBUS ROUTE FRANCHISING SYSTEMBUS ROUTESBUS SECTORBUS SERVICEBUS SERVICESBUS SHELTERSBUS STOPSBUS SYSTEMBUS TRANSPORTCARCAR RENTALCARSCITY BUSCITY BUSESCITY TRANSPORTCOMMERCIAL VEHICLESCONCESSIONARY FARESCONSTRUCTIONCROSSINGDIESELDISPOSABLE INCOMEDRIVER LICENSINGDRIVER SAFETYDRIVERSDRIVINGDRIVING LICENCEELASTICITYEMERGING BUS SERVICE SECTOREMISSIONEMISSION STANDARDSEMISSIONSENFORCEMENT OF REGULATIONSENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTSEXCLUSIVE RIGHTSEXCLUSIVE ROUTEFARE CONTROLFARE INCREASESFARE LEVELSFARE POLICYFARE REGULATIONFARE STRUCTUREFARESFARES POLICYFLAT FAREFLEET CHARACTERISTICSFLEET SIZEFLEETSFLOOR SPACEFRAMEWORKFREIGHTFREIGHT FORWARDERSFREIGHT FORWARDINGFREIGHT SECTORFREIGHT TERMINALSFREIGHT TRANSPORTFUELFUEL COSTFUEL PRICEFUEL PRICE INCREASEFUEL PRICESFUEL SAVINGSGASOLINEGOODS VEHICLESGOVERNMENT AGENCIESGROSS VEHICLE WEIGHTHAULAGE INDUSTRYHEAVY EQUIPMENTHEAVY TRUCKSHEAVY VEHICLEHEAVY VEHICLESINJURIESINJURYINNER RINGINNER RING ROADINSPECTIONINTERNATIONAL PASSENGER TRANSPORTINTERNATIONAL ROAD HAULAGEINTERNATIONAL TRANSPORTJOURNEYLAND TRANSPORTLAND TRANSPORT AUTHORITYLANESLIGHT TRUCKSLOADINGLOCAL TRANSPORTLONG DISTANCESLONG-DISTANCELOW FARESMINIBUSMINIBUS OPERATORSMINIBUS SERVICESMINIBUSESMINISTRY OF TRANSPORTMOTOR VEHICLEMOTOR VEHICLESMOTORCYCLENATIONAL TRANSPORTNATIONAL TRANSPORT DATAPASSENGER FARE CEILINGPASSENGER SERVICESPASSENGER TRANSPORTPASSENGER TRANSPORT OPERATIONSPASSENGER TRIPSPASSENGER VEHICLESPASSENGER VOLUMESPASSENGERSPOLICEPRICE OF DIESELPRICE OF FUELPRIVATE OPERATORSPRIVATE PASSENGER CARPRIVATE TRANSPORTPRIVATE VEHICLESPUBLIC TRANSPORTPUBLIC TRANSPORT AGENCYPUBLIC TRANSPORT FARESPUBLIC TRANSPORT INDUSTRYPUBLIC TRANSPORT MARKETPUBLIC TRANSPORT POLICYPUBLIC TRANSPORT SECTORPUBLIC TRANSPORT SERVICESPUBLIC TRANSPORT SYSTEMPUBLIC TRANSPORT VEHICLEPUBLIC TRANSPORT VEHICLESRADIOROADROAD ACCIDENTSROAD CONDITIONSROAD CONGESTIONROAD DAMAGEROAD SAFETYROAD TRAFFICROAD TRANSPORTROAD TRANSPORT MODESROAD TRANSPORT PRICESROAD TRANSPORT SERVICESROAD USERSROADSROLE OF BUSESROUTESSAFE DRIVINGSAFETY GROUNDSSAFETY REGULATIONSAFETY STANDARDSSHIPPING CONTAINERSSTANDING PASSENGERSSTREETSSUBURBSTAXTAXI DRIVERSTAXI FARESTAXI SERVICETAXISTOLLTRAFFICTRAFFIC CONGESTIONTRAFFIC FLOWTRAFFIC MANAGEMENTTRAFFIC MANAGEMENT MEASURESTRAFFIC MOVEMENTTRAFFIC POLICETRAFFIC SURVEYSTRANSITTRANSPORT ACTIVITIESTRANSPORT AGENCIESTRANSPORT DEMANDTRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURETRANSPORT LAWTRANSPORT MODESTRANSPORT OPERATIONSTRANSPORT POLICYTRANSPORT PROFESSIONALSTRANSPORT SECTORTRANSPORT SERVICETRANSPORT SERVICESTRANSPORT TERMINALSTRAVEL DEMANDTRIPTRIPSTRIPS PER DAYTRUCK CAPACITYTRUCK DRIVERSTRUCKSURBAN BUSURBAN BUSESURBAN CORRIDORSURBAN OPERATIONSURBAN PASSENGERURBAN PASSENGER TRANSPORTURBAN PUBLIC BUS TRANSPORTURBAN PUBLIC TRANSPORTURBAN ROUTESURBAN SERVICESURBAN TRAFFICURBAN TRANSPORTURBAN TRANSPORT PROJECTURBAN TRANSPORT SECTORURBAN TRANSPORT SERVICESVEHICLEVEHICLE FLEETVEHICLE INSPECTIONVEHICLE INSPECTION SYSTEMVEHICLE INSPECTIONSVEHICLE MAINTENANCEVEHICLE MODELVEHICLE OCCUPANTSVEHICLE POPULATIONVEHICLE REGISTRATIONVEHICLE REGULATIONSVEHICLE SAFETYVEHICLE TYPESWorld Bank10.1596/2983
