Abstract
The present paper aimed to develop a working model for the enactment and supervision of railway transport regulations in Iran drawing on the experience of railway modernization in the United Kingdom and Germany and comparing it with the modernization experience in Iran. The findings of the paper analyzed via comparison and benchmarking showed that the Community-Based Transport Model or the modified British Franchising Model would be the best models for railway transport regulation in Iran. Such a model needs to be formulated in a manner that the structure and configuration of its governing body guarantee the three principles of independence, expertise, and recognition pertaining the role of civil, trade, and private societies on the level of the government’s representatives.
