Movilidad de los estudiantes de Funza que se desplazan en servicio de transporte público hacia las universidades Minuto de Dios y Santo Tomás en Bogotá

Abstract

This research is based on the situation of young people from Funza to access higher education and continue their studies at the universities of Bogotá, based on the economic and time difficulties that arise from living on the outskirts of the Colombian capital. This exploration is part of a program created by the Mayor's Office of the municipality of Funza, four years ago, in which it grants university students a discount voucher in the public transport service to Bogotá. An indispensable component of this work is the study of compliance with the program by the Mayor's Office of the municipality and the transport companies linked to the project. In addition, the articulation of the program with the Minuto de Dios and Santo Tomás universities in Bogotá and their participation in the search for solutions is the object of investigation. The research contains a broad review of the aspects that have been improved since solutions to the problem began to be proposed or if, for any reason, there are setbacks within these projects; Likewise, what new initiatives have been included in the search for students from the municipality to access universities in Bogotá.
