“…Among various modes of land transport (Duval 2007;Page 2011), the use of public transport (or mass transit, public transit, public transportation) has multiple environmental, social, and economical benefits (Litman 2011;Gwilliam 2008;Litman 2007). However, most research on public transport focuses on local users rather than the public transport needs of visitors.…”

“…Taxi Market Regulation has been tried in a number of countries (Koehler, 2004;Flath, 2006;Fernández et al, 2006;Walters, 2008;Gwilliam, 2008). Given the average taxi vacant ratio 0.5 in Harbin, it is apparent that action needs to be taken to restrict taxi development.…”

The benefit of using this theory is that it helps us 1 Some studies describe the formal organization of public transport solutions in various countries (see, e.g., [3,12]), but these studies do not emphasize analysing the actual actor roles or the effects of various actors on the outcome of a process. Instead, the description of the organizational solutions is addressed when analysing a (different) main purpose, for example, reduced costs in tender agreements (see, e.g., [2]).…”

Purpose In striving for a "successful" public transport system, functional procurement operations are needed. The "Scandinavian model" has gained popularity in Europe, prompting considerable research into relationships between government and private transport operators. To understand the Scandinavian model, one must also identify the roles governmental actors and institutions play when interacting in procurement processes. This article aims to provide an understanding of the interrelationships between the actors involved in planning a public transport procurement process. Method The method used is case study method and in specific process tracing. The empirical data consist of public documents and interviews concerning the work with a public transport procurement, located to a Swedish county. Results The article demonstrates power relationships between the actors and identifies how resources are deployed to maximize influence while minimizing dependence on other actors. It also shows that there is a dominant coalition that employs strategies within the rules of the game to regulate the process of exchange. Conclusion The article conclude that the procurement entity is the dominant organisation and that the actors working within it form a dominant coalition. The procurement entity, however, is dependent on political and financial resources from the principals to achieve its agenda.
