This is the biggest project for EPTISA in Southeast Asia, whose scope includes all phases of the project cycle; project management, communications and marketing; development of the business, institutional and operational framework as well as the engineering design and construction supervision of the designed infrastructure.
The main project outcomes are:
1) the creation of a sustainable transport management agency

3) the improvement of the existing traffic management capacities
4) the creation of a parking management system and a national vehicle registration system

VSUTP aims to improve the quality, speed, and affordability of public transport services, increase its use and divert demand from private motorized vehicles. The new public transport system will be designed in a way that it provides integration with the existing services to maximize route coverage and foster efficient and inter-modal mobility.
