Indian bus industry, since independence, has been organized along a
mixed pattern of public and private sector ownership. The industry
is dominated by publicly owned State Transport Undertakings (STUs)
since private sector is highly fragmented. Despite their vital
role, STUs in India have not been able to keep pace with the very
rapid and substantial increases in demand of the past few years.
Their service quality in particular has deteriorated, and their
market share has been further reduced as passengers have turned to
personalized transport and intermediate public transport. Apart
from public criticism of inadequate and irregular services provided
under unhealthy conditions of overcrowding and with minimal
passenger comforts and amenities, STUs' financial performance has
also been extremely poor and deteriorating over the years. In the
present scenario, tackling the problem of financial crisis appears
to be the biggest challenge for STUs. This book tries to address
this issue by analyzing, both theoretically and empirically, the
productivity, cost structure, and pricing issues in STUs.
