Calidad y Estabilidad de Tarifas del Sistema de Transporte Masivo (TM y SITP) de Bogotá: Un Análisis desde la Economía del Bienestar.

Abstract

Mass transportation (TransMilenio and SITP) have become one of the fundamental parts of the city, this because it is in charge of ensuring that people can mobilize efficiently throughout much of the city, this compared to others means of transport, has a lower cost for users, however in many cases this is not enough to guarantee access to the system for everyone, and taking into account the importance of efficient mobility for the socioeconomic development of people, this is a great limitation. For this reason, in this research a descriptive analysis of the perception of the existing rates in the system is carried out and the appreciation that a differential scheme would have complementary to the current one, within the framework of the welfare economy, because within Its objectives are to increase the well-being of society and with this it is considered that to improve access to the system this same objective must be guaranteed, in addition to this, a complement is given with cooperativism that seeks equality and equity, taking into account Note that the latter is the main basis for the implementation of a differential scheme. For this analysis, the survey "Mobility and rates" (2021) is developed in which information is collected on general characteristics of users (age, gender, age, monthly income, among others) and their perception of the system, based on aspects such as its cost-quality relationship, the problems they perceive, the knowledge of the differential rates that currently exist and their perception of each of the aforementioned mechanisms, the evidence shows that the majority of users have a good perception that these schemes improve access to the system considerably. Due to this, three mechanisms are proposed, differential scheme by occupation, route / hour and by frequency of use, it should be noted that these are not mutually exclusive, however, the implementation of the three mechanisms in the same system is unlikely due to various planning and economic factors, for this reason the probability of implementation of only one mechanism for mass transportation in Bogotá will be considered.
