URBAN TRANSPORT IN COLOMBIA: PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS

EL TRANSPORTE URBANO EN COLOMBIA: PROBLEMAS Y SOLUCIONES

Urban development and the growth of motorized transport are the causes of social, economic and ecological problems which cannot be ignored. With a view to solving urban transport problems a review is made of the political measures (town planning, economic and technological measures) which must be taken. A comparative study of different public transport systems is conducted in order to select those which are best adapted to the Columbian environment. (TRRL)
