Urban mobility facilitates access to opportunities that are evidenced by people's quality of life, since public transport is the most economical form of travel within a city or metropolitan area. The cities that implement integrated and modern transport services generate the development of public policies that lead to positive results in economic terms. The main empirical evidence demonstrates an increase in employment for cities that implement modern and integrated transport. To achieve economic benefits in a city, accessibility plays a decisive role and that is why it is the central axis of CAF's 2017 Economy and Development Report (RED) - development bank of Latin America - entitled "Urban growth and access to opportunities: a challenge for Latin America.
