Recently, there have been some infrastructure projects conducted by Private Finance Initiative (PFI), most of these projects relatively small scale. However, in the future, it is considered that PFI method will be used for transportation planning. In these projects it is important to have an economic analysis so that we may confirm whether or not these project managements work well. Moreover, public concern of the effect of cars on environmental contamination has been increasing recently, and so it seems necessary to consider their impact. For such a reason, an economic analysis on a Light Rail Transit (LRT) project with consideration for an environmental tax for cars as well as external costs of road transport (air-pollution, noise, accidents etc.) was conducted.
