Since the concession was granted, the passenger transport business has experienced contrasting trends: a phase of decline between 1999 and 2004, a phase of stabilization between 2004 and 2008, and a phase of accelerated recovery since 2008, interrupted in the last quarter of 2016 by the Es\u00e9ka accident.<\/b>Es\u00e9ka<\/b>.<\/b><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

At the time of the concession, passenger transport activity was in steep decline. Under Regifercam, passenger traffic, which had reached 2 million passengers in the early 1990s, fell to 1.2 million between 1998 and 1999.
As the concession agreement provides for the concessionaire to be subject to public service obligations, subject to public contributions to cover its deficits, between 1999 and 2001 CAMRAIL signed 8 special agreements with several ministries and government departments (Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Post and Telecommunications, Ministry of Defense, Ministry of Forestry, Fauna and Flora).
Because of the Treasury's difficulties in honoring the State's commitments to compensate for the deficit in passenger services, this policy has not been able to halt the fall in traffic, which fell to 1 million passengers in 2004.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

In 2002 - 2003, CAMRAIL and its Delegating Authority entered negotiations to relaunch the passenger business and improve cost control.<\/p>

These negotiations led to the signing of a Passenger Transport Agreement (dated December 3, 2003), which determined the range of services to be provided, as well as the method for calculating deficits and public subsidies; the setting up, within CAMRAIL, of a management unit (MOBIRAIL) with separate accounts to monitor passenger transport; the setting up of a joint monitoring committee, the CTV (Passenger Transport Committee [PTC]), to monitor activity; and the negotiation of financing (with the AFD and the EIB) to acquire 5 railcars to improve the quality of services offered.\u00a0<\/p>

This new policy has helped to stabilize business and kick-start a recovery in traffic, which rose by almost 20% over the period, from 1 to 1.2 million passengers a year.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Given the political and social importance of passenger transport, CAMRAIL and its Delegating Authority have undertaken to boost passenger traffic, by deciding to increase the resources needed to renew passenger rolling stock and launch a new investment plan.<\/p>

As part of Avenant n\u00b02 of November 4, 2008, which redistributed the investment responsibilities of the State and CAMRAIL, a PTC (Passenger Investment Account) was created alongside the CIF (Railway Infrastructure Account), which is responsible for financing infrastructure investments.<\/p>

The PTC reflected the Parties' desire to transfer the burden of passenger transport investments to the State; the PTC was to be replenished by contributions from the State and Donors.<\/p>

Rider n\u00b02 provided for the CIV to mobilize funding of 11.5 billion FCFA, which was to be devoted to the implementation of an ambitious investment plan covering the acquisition of 3 locomotives, 312nd class carriages, 141st class carriages, 4 restaurant-bars and 4 vans.<\/p>

The revival of passenger transport activities was also accelerated with the drafting, at the request of the CTV, of a new Passenger Transport Agreement, which was signed on February 4, 2011 and came into force on April1, 2012.<\/p>

The new agreement introduced a more incentive-based subsidy mechanism and a new performance and service quality plan, backed by a profit-sharing and penalty mechanism.<\/p>

It redefined the applicable transport plan, and set out precise procedures for monitoring transport costs, as well as the method for determining the balancing subsidy.<\/p>

The additional financial resources earmarked for passenger services (even if only partially implemented) have enabled CAMRAIL to step up measures to improve services (passenger reception, work in stations and waiting rooms, modernization of equipment, etc.) and to significantly increase traffic, which reached 1.6 million passengers in 2015.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

HISTORIQUE VOYAGEURS Achat et r\u00e9servation en ligne UNE AM\u00c9LIORATION CONTINUE DU SERVICE VOYAGEURS L\u2019activit\u00e9 de transport des voyageurs a connu depuis la mise en concession une \u00e9volution contrast\u00e9e\u00a0: une phase de r\u00e9gression entre 1999 et 2004, une phase de stabilisation entre 2004 et 2008, et une phase de reprise acc\u00e9l\u00e9r\u00e9e depuis 2008 interrompue au dernier trimestre de l\u2019ann\u00e9e 2016 par l\u2019accident d\u2019Es\u00e9ka. 1\u00e8re Phase : une p\u00e9riode de r\u00e9gression 1999 \u00e0 2004 2\u00e8me Phase une p\u00e9riode de stabilisation 2004 \u00e0 2008 3eme Phase: UNE P\u00c9RIODE DE RELANCE DEPUIS 2008 1\u00e8re phase 1999 \u00e0 2004 : une p\u00e9riode de r\u00e9gression Lors de la mise en concession, l\u2019activit\u00e9 de transport de voyageurs \u00e9tait en forte r\u00e9gression. C\u2019est ainsi que, sous la Regifercam, les trafics de voyageurs, qui atteignaient 2 millions de passagers au d\u00e9but des ann\u00e9es 1990 avaient r\u00e9gress\u00e9 \u00e0 1.2 million entre1998 et 1999.La convention de concession pr\u00e9voyant de soumettre le concessionnaire \u00e0 des obligations de service public sous r\u00e9serve de lui verser des contributions publiques couvrant ses d\u00e9ficits, CAMRAIL a sign\u00e9 entre 1999 et 2001, 8 conventions particuli\u00e8res avec plusieurs minist\u00e8res et administrations (Minist\u00e8res des Finances, minist\u00e8re des Postes et T\u00e9l\u00e9communications, minist\u00e8re de la D\u00e9fense, minist\u00e8re de la For\u00eat de la faune et de la Flore\u2026).En raison des difficult\u00e9s du Tr\u00e9sor Public \u00e0 honorer les engagements de l\u2019Etat au titre de la compensation financi\u00e8re du d\u00e9ficit des services voyageurs, cette politique n\u2019a pas permis d\u2019enrayer la chute des trafics qui sont tomb\u00e9s \u00e0 1 million de passagers en 2004. 2\u00e8me Phase 2004 \u00e0 2008 : une p\u00e9riode de stabilisation En 2002 – 2003, CAMRAIL et son Autorit\u00e9 D\u00e9l\u00e9gante ont engag\u00e9 des n\u00e9gociations afin de relancer l\u2019activit\u00e9 voyageurs et d\u2019en mieux ma\u00eetriser les co\u00fbts. Ces n\u00e9gociations ont d\u00e9bouch\u00e9 sur la signature d\u2019une convention de Transports de voyageurs (en date du 3 d\u00e9cembre 2003) qui s\u2019est traduite par la d\u00e9termination de l\u2019offre de services \u00e0 assurer ainsi que le mode de calcul des d\u00e9ficits et des subventions publiques\u00a0; la mise en place, au sein de CAMRAIL, d\u2019une unit\u00e9 de gestion (MOBIRAIL) disposant d\u2019une comptabilit\u00e9 s\u00e9par\u00e9e charg\u00e9e de suivre le transport de voyageurs\u00a0; l\u2019instauration d\u2019un comit\u00e9 de suivi paritaire, le CTV (Comit\u00e9 de Transport Voyageurs) charg\u00e9 d\u2019assurer le suivi de l\u2019activit\u00e9\u00a0; et la n\u00e9gociation de financements (aupr\u00e8s de l\u2019AFD et de la BEI) pour acqu\u00e9rir 5 rames d\u2019autorails afin d\u2019am\u00e9liorer la qualit\u00e9 des services offerts.\u00a0 Cette nouvelle politique a permis de stabiliser l\u2019activit\u00e9 et d\u2019amorcer une reprise des trafics qui ont progress\u00e9 de pr\u00e8s de 20% sur la p\u00e9riode passant de 1 \u00e0 1.2 millions de passagers par an. Depuis 2008 : UNE P\u00c9RIODE DE RELANCE Du fait de l\u2019importance politique et sociale des transports de voyageurs, CAMRAIL et son Autorit\u00e9 D\u00e9l\u00e9gante ont entrepris de relancer les trafics voyageurs, en d\u00e9cidant d\u2019accro\u00eetre les ressources n\u00e9cessaires au renouvellement du mat\u00e9riel roulant voyageurs et de lancer un nouveau plan d\u2019investissements. C\u2019est ainsi que dans le cadre de l\u2019Avenant n\u00b02 du 4 novembre 2008, redistribuant les responsabilit\u00e9s de l\u2019Etat et de CAMRAIL en mati\u00e8re d\u2019investissements, il a \u00e9t\u00e9 institu\u00e9, parall\u00e8lement \u00e0 la cr\u00e9ation du CIF (Compte d\u2019Infrastructures Ferroviaires) charg\u00e9 d\u2019assurer le financement des investissements en mati\u00e8re d\u2019infrastructures, un CIV (Compte d\u2019Investissement Voyageurs). Le CIV traduisait la volont\u00e9 des Parties de transf\u00e9rer clairement la charge des investissements relatifs aux transports de voyageurs \u00e0 l\u2019Etat ; le CIV devant en effet \u00eatre abond\u00e9 par des contributions de l\u2019Etat et des Bailleurs de Fonds. L\u2019avenant n\u00b02 pr\u00e9voyait la mobilisation par le CIV d\u2019un financement de 11.5 milliards FCFA qui devait \u00eatre consacr\u00e9 \u00e0 la mise en place d\u2019un plan d\u2019investissements ambitieux recouvrant l\u2019acquisition de 3 locomotives, 31 voitures 2\u00e8me classe, 14 voitures 1\u00e8re, 4 restaurant-bar et 4 fourgons. La relance des activit\u00e9s de transport de voyageurs a par ailleurs \u00e9t\u00e9 acc\u00e9l\u00e9r\u00e9e avec l\u2019\u00e9laboration, \u00e0 la demande du CTV, d\u2019une nouvelle convention de Transport Voyageurs qui a \u00e9t\u00e9 sign\u00e9e le 4 f\u00e9vrier 2011 et est entr\u00e9e en vigueur le 1er avril 2012. La nouvelle convention introduisait un m\u00e9canisme de subventionnement plus incitatif et un nouveau plan de performance et de qualit\u00e9 de service, adoss\u00e9 sur un m\u00e9canisme d\u2019int\u00e9ressement et de p\u00e9nalit\u00e9s. Elle red\u00e9finissait le plan transport applicable, fixait de fa\u00e7on pr\u00e9cise les modalit\u00e9s de suivi des charges transport ainsi que le mode de d\u00e9termination de la subvention d\u2019\u00e9quilibre. Les moyens financiers additionnels consacr\u00e9s aux services de voyageurs (m\u00eame s\u2019ils n\u2019ont \u00e9t\u00e9 que partiellement mis en \u0153uvre) ont permis \u00e0 CAMRAIL de multiplier les mesures d\u2019am\u00e9lioration des services (accueil des passagers, travaux dans les gares, dans les salles d\u2019attente, modernisation du mat\u00e9riel\u2026) et de faire progresser notablement les trafics qui ont atteint 1.6 millions de passagers en 2015.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_crdt_document":"","inline_featured_image":false,"site-sidebar-layout":"no-sidebar","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"full-width-container","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"disabled","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"disabled","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"default","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"set","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-186","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"rttpg_featured_image_url":null,"rttpg_author":{"display_name":"peguy10","author_link":"https:\/\/camrail.cm\/en\/author\/peguy10\/"},"rttpg_comment":0,"rttpg_category":null,"rttpg_excerpt":"HISTORIQUE VOYAGEURS Achat et r\u00e9servation en ligne UNE AM\u00c9LIORATION CONTINUE DU SERVICE VOYAGEURS L\u2019activit\u00e9 de transport des voyageurs a connu depuis la mise en concession une \u00e9volution contrast\u00e9e\u00a0: une phase de r\u00e9gression entre 1999 et 2004, une phase de stabilisation entre 2004 et 2008, et une phase de reprise acc\u00e9l\u00e9r\u00e9e depuis 2008 interrompue au dernier…","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/camrail.cm\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/186","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/camrail.cm\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/camrail.cm\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/camrail.cm\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/camrail.cm\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=186"}],"version-history":[{"count":100,"href":"https:\/\/camrail.cm\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/186\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4226,"href":"https:\/\/camrail.cm\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/186\/revisions\/4226"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/camrail.cm\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=186"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
