Authors: I. Flores De La Mota, A. Huerta Barrientos
Abstract
At global level, last year Mexico City rankedthe highest congestion level on the road network, causing more than 90% extra travel time for citizens during busy hours. The traffic congestion impacts directly on the quality of life, however due to government policies that have encouraged the use of private transport,citizens prefer to use it instead of the public transport network. Nevertheless, public transport network offers a poor service. The aim of this study is to carry out a diagnosis about the public transport network in Mexico City by proposing a pertinent theoretical tool to optimize its operations on a daily basis. First, we present the official statistics about urbanization of Mexico City. Then, we present the official statistics about mobility. After that, we describe the components of the Mexico City public transport network. Finally, we propose a methodology to optimize operational aspects.
