Railway plays a significant role in improving connectivity and generates economic growth of a nation. The contract in railway has been discussed to improve industry railway competitiveness in the past decades not only in developed countries but also developing countries such as Indonesia. The country attempt to build railway tracks across the country, but the contract for operation and maintenance remain a question. The paper attempts to support the mechanism of operation and maintenance contract and use railway project in the country as the case study. The research uses a combination of qualitative and quantitative approaches through the in-depth interview and questionnaire survey. It distributed to key stakeholders related to railway and infrastructure project consist of a government institution, private investor, a state-owned enterprise, and local-owned enterprise. The result shows that performance-based contract is the most suitable for the railway industry. It shall consider duration and the contract value to select the best contract. The project prefers to be managed by private investors or local-owned enterprise. Business entity selection shall consider their company reputation, licensing requirement, and healthy financial structure

“…Jensen & Stelling (2007) present the results of Swedish railway deregulation and clarify the relationship between output and costs in railways goods and passenger transportation. Laurino, Ramella, & Beria (2015) analyzed the economic regulation of railway network in 20 countries and found that open marketing for railway cargo transportation is authorized while different degrees of freedom exist in setting agreements between operators for trackage and haulage rights but effective competition in the market has been very limited in railways passenger transportation. Beria, Quinet, De Rus, & Schulz (2012) reviews a comparative overview of railway liberalization in Italy, Germany, France, Spain and conclude that railway liberalization help to eliminate the barriers and improve competitive advantages.…”

Today, the processes of restructuring the railway sector and the liberalization of the railway market change significantly. Vertical separation between infrastructure railway transportation service provision and train operations is a significant key element in the railway liberalization. This paper focuses on a research into railway regulation and liberalization in 30 countries. The aim of this paper is to give a comparative overview of the regulation of railways and analyses the process of the liberalization and restructuring of railways in the 30 countries. We test this theoretical prediction using a data base that contains investment in transport with private participation, transport services information from World Bank. Our final results are valid for the period 1980-2014. Overall, the analyses showed statistically significant interaction effects between railways transportation and transport services and investment in transport with private participation. This study presents new insights in theory, paving the way for further research.

With the rapid development of China’s economy and society, China’s railway transportation system has been dramatically improved in terms of its scale and operational efficiency. To uncover the underlying relationship between urbanization and railway network structure, this paper examines the evolution of China’s railway transportation system from 1999 to 2019 by applying complex network theory. The results show that China’s railway network (CRN) has become more connected, more “small-world” and more heterogeneous since the beginning of the twenty-first century. Based on the train flow and train travel distance, the evolutionary course of CRN is found to undergo two apparent stages, with a turning point in 2007. By calculating the regional railway connection index (RRCI), it is revealed that the planned core cities in different regions act as bridges connecting the regions to the rest of the whole network.
