Abstract

Urban transport is an issue that the municipal authorities of our canton do not pay attention to, the uneven growth of the city forces us to supply people with few resources who live further away from the city, because it is a right that the constitution grants, but The poor service provided by cooperatives implies losses of productivity and life time that ends directly or indirectly affecting the economy of the city. Therefore, it is not enough to just have a public transport system, this must be optimized, so that it meets basic criteria such as comfort, safety, time optimization, and with this last section, the optimization of times, arise multiple variables, including the correct distribution of passenger boarding and disembarkation stops. A bibliographic investigation was carried out in various scielo and redalyc consultation platforms mainly and in the repository of the Technical University of Machala on the current situation in the area of public transport at macro, meso and micro levels to compare the quality of service, advances that exist in other cities with respect to the city of study, managing to identify a great delay in urban mobility. Latin American countries such as Chile, Brazil, Argentina, Bolivia and European cities have regulations that regulate private transport cooperatives and even the European Union has a very detailed book to reduce these negative effects caused by poor mobility in the population.
