    • Abstract:
      The impacts of privatization in transportation for Mexico City are examined through a cost-and-benefit analysis. Privatization in transportation has reduced direct government spending in some areas but has exacerbated economic inequities, political corruption, traffic congestion, and traffic injuries and fatalities as well as air pollution and related illness and mortality. Transport policy has benefited the Federal District, affluent residents, and service providers, but the users and poor who live in marginal zones have received less benefits from these policies.
