How Public Transportation’s Past Is Haunting Its Future in Bogotá, Colombia
نویسنده
چکیده
What is problematic, however, is that the traditional bus system is laden with negative incentives and problems that will most likely impede Transmilenio from covering the entire city let alone advance beyond its looming third stage. Worse still, these negative incentives translate into low-quality service, bus oversupply, and paradoxically high fares for most riders. This paper analyzes Bogotá’s current public transportation situation to draw lessons for the successful planning of bus rapid transit (BRT) systems in Bogotá and in other cities. To carry out this research, secondary sources were consulted and representatives of the bus companies, bus owners, and government officials were interviewed.
