A set of question is defined for the scope of the analysis to be performed. Initially, the concept of public-private partnership is explained, and in the further sections, examples of developing and industrialized countries are discussed. A brief conclusion based on the initial questions closes the studyAttribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 Brazilhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/br/Capital privado transporteMass transit systemsPrivate capitalSistemas de transporte de massaParceria público-privadaPublic-private partnershiparticle10.14295/transportes.v14i1.60
