This paper attempts to examine the special characteristics of and their implications for overall urban transport policy in East Asian Megacities. These characteristics create more challenges than opportunities when it comes to dealing with the urban transport problems. A broad framework of long-term vision and strategic approaches is recommended to face such challenges. The core element of the framework is transit dominated multimodal urban transport system and strategic timing of different policy options. Finally, the paper discusses some of the special policy issues and measures that are relevant to the case of East Asian Megacities.
