Abstract
Many studies [1-4] have shown that improving bus-based public transport is a more cost-effective and flexible option compared with rail investment. The Taiwanese National Road Public Transport Plan (NRPTP) was launched in 2010 to increase bus patronage and public transport market share in Taiwan. A qualitative method was adopted to explore the key factors influencing attainment of NRPTP objectives. The key factors include a lack of understanding of NRPTP objectives within implementing agencies, patchy local road public transport proposals, insufficient implementing capacity, insufficient skilled street-level-bureaucrats, lack of Mayoral commitments and resource limitations. In addition, this study draws out some suggestions for the next period (2017-2020) of NRPTP implementation. The suggestions include a method to formulate the policy objectives, NRPTP guidance revision, adjustment of the policy implementation process, better monitoring, providing greater support to the local implementing agencies, raising NRPTP implementation up the list of priorities within local authorities, and relaxing the current limitations on budget spending.
