Lebanon is currently experiencing a manifold of crises, the worst since the Civil War (1975-1990) that crippled the country and its people, among them a suffocating financial crisis – the worst economic and financial crisis that the world has seen since 1850, according to the World Bank. It is destroying the livelihoods and lives of the people of Lebanon, and also affects whatever public transport there is in this country – it is virtually non-existent. With respect to the latter, on 23 May 2022, a slight glimmer of hope appeared on the horizon, when a ship arrived at the Port of Beirut, carrying a first batch of the 50 buses that have been donated by France. This paper addresses this issue and looks at the challenges and opportunities for Lebanon’s road transport sector. |
