The arguments on the privatization of Osaka Municipal Transportation Bureau are continued now. However, discussions of urban policy and transport policy are insufficient decisively. In addition, merits and demerits are accompanied by privatization. The increase in efficiency of management is required, however judging public works only by enterprise profits has too many problems. For example reduction of bus transit has serious influence for persons with disabilities and elderly people who cannot drive a car. Civil authority, transportation operators and users must discuss about social role of public transport enough. In order to stir up further discussions, we will report the results of the discussions by the members of the NPO KOALA to advocate urban planning by public transport.
