Gestión y operación del transporte público centralizado del Corredor Sur Occidental para la alimentación de la estación del metro, ubicado en el sector La Magdalena del Cantón Quito, provincia de Pichincha

Abstract

The present research work "Management and Operation of the centralized public transportation of the Southwestern Corridor to feed the Subway Station, located in the La Magdalena sector of the Quito canton, Province of Pichincha" arises from the concern of the South Western Corridor before the arrival of the Quito Subway, since this means an eventual economic loss for the transportation cooperatives that make up the consortium. For this reason, a quantitative approach has been made on user demand, as well as available units, fares, and as an alternative measure to the above mentioned, a restructuring of the existing routes has been proposed by means of manual counts of the different factors involved in the operation of that route. However, in order to improve the transportation system and make it more efficient, the Caja Común management system should be established, a system aimed at improving the management and operating mechanisms of the transportation companies. Continuing with this analysis, the Southwest Consortium will not compete with the Quito Subway for users, since it intends to connect the routes that come off the trunk belonging to the Consortium, so that they serve as a connection for users and these in turn can be integrated to the nearest stop of the Quito Subway. In this way, the Consortium will become an important ally of the Subway and will continue to provide transportation service to users in the southwest of Quito.
