Myanmar Transport Sector Policy Note: Urban Transport

Asian Development Bank Institute

Working Papers from eSocialSciences

Abstract: This note presents a review of Myanmar’s urban transport. It focuses on the country’s main cities, Yangon and Mandalay, where issues are most severe, to also help solve similar problems in secondary cities. Yangon and Mandalay probably account for more than 50% of Myanmar’s gross domestic product (GDP). The efficiency of urban transport systems in Yangon and Mandalay will determine their productivity and attractiveness to investments and labor, and will have a direct impact on the country’s economic growth.
