Lesson
The state government should institutionalize road safety training and awareness among drivers and other road users, to help reduce traffic accidents. The project incorporated several road safety features. Although these helped reduce fatal accidents, there is scope to do more to improve road safety. Common causes of accidents on good roads are negligent driving behavior, neglect of traffic rules, excessive speeding, and/or lack of road safety awareness among road users. These problems are further aggravated in mixed traffic conditions.

Lesson
A holistic approach, which can lead to overambitious scope and targets, needs to be carefully weighed during the project design stage. This program and its numerous outputs adopted a holistic approach, which might now seem overly ambitious, particularly for the first urban transport undertaking in Ulaanbaatar. A phased approach could have been considered to focus resources on clearly identified priorities and to develop capacity.

Lesson
Complex and large-scale investment programs demand more rigorous front-end analyses to identify appropriate implementation arrangements and timelines. Drawn-out government approval processes, lack of qualified and experienced consultants, and inadequate high-level support and guidance obstructed the implementation of this investment program. Being a complex and the first-generation bus rapid transit investment in Mongolia, the program required a longer implementation period.

Planning for rail projects should consider integrated systems and holistic planning to maximize benefits. The project delivered a section of rail infrastructure on one line but did not achieve the ridership target of the first year. The project’s contribution to Jaipur’s overall transport system can only be realized as the public transport network develops, servicing a broader area and providing attractive transport solutions for more people.

ADB's project integrity review (PIR) enhances project management. The PIR conducted by ADB’s Office of Anticorruption and Integrity in 2016 identified gaps in the internal controls for procurement, disbursement, and asset management of the Jaipur Metro Rail Corporation (JMRC), one of the project executing agencies. A follow-up review in November 2017 reiterated a few recommendations which, after full implementation, helped improve JMRC's performance and project deliveries.

More actions on transit-oriented development (TOD), last-mile connectivity, and improved station design are key to higher ridership. The project did not include TOD or last-mile connectivity in the scope. As a best practice, TOD is included in other ADB-financed metro projects in India to bring the benefits of integrated land use development and potentially higher demand. Ridership is also expected to grow when the supporting initiatives, such as improved feeder bus service and more convenient multimodal transfer facilities, are built and implemented.

Lesson
Transport demand modeling should be based on reasonable assumptions. The economic and financial viability of urban infrastructure projects is normally determined based on the results of a complex transport demand modeling. Under a proposed scenario, the model’s accuracy regarding the modal share depends greatly on the reasonableness of the adopted assumptions, such as the catchment area and willingness to pay. Overly optimistic assumptions lead to overestimation and may cause operational loss.

Ensuring pertinent output performance indicators for capacity building are important to reflect to better tackle deficiencies identified during due diligence of the executing agency and the implementing agency's capacities, especially regarding procurement and their understanding of ADB procedures and requirements.

Lesson
The use of build-back-better technologies with climate resiliency determined at project design such as sheet piling increase the service life of the infrastructure, even if this increases the project costs. Prior to implementation, the subproject’s economic analysis needs to explore and evaluate alternative technologies under a build-back-better objective.

ADB safeguard policy requirement of paying affected persons before construction should be incorporated in project land acquisition and resettlement plans (LARPs) to ensure its implementation. This is especially important for the disbursement of small amounts. ADB projects teams should also learn from good practices in implementing ADB safeguard policies in other projects in Pakistan that involve multiple agencies—both federal and provincial.

It might be better for performance-based maintenance (PBM) contracts to be integrated into the civil works contracts to expedite its adoption in future projects. Procurement of a separate contract, particularly a PBM contract, for post-construction maintenance after completion of the civil works contracts is a major concern for any government agency as it involves various channels and processes for seeking internal government approvals.
