Abstract

The purpose of this degree work is to prepare a proposal for the redesign of intracantonal public transport routes and frequencies in the Lago Agrio canton, Sucumbíos province, with the aim of improving mobility in the canton. The investigation starts from the analysis of the current situation of transport, through the collection of information through the 382 origin - destination surveys obtained as a sample of the total of the 73,649 inhabitants that the study area has, in order to obtain the number of travel between the different zones, reasons for the trip and the modal split. To complete the information survey was made the study of ascent and descent, which was carried out on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, in periods of 3 hours peak and 2 hours valley, which served to obtain the number of passengers per sense, distance of travel, and the occupation rate of the intra-cantonal public transport service. . As a result, it was obtained that Zone 5 is the most attractive and generates travel; another important result that was obtained is that 25% of the total population use intracantonal public transport being the second most used means of transport behind the motorcycle. It can be concluded that it is not necessary to implement routes in the study area. . It is recommended that the Mancomunidad de Tránsito Sucumbíos-EP have the present proposal of routes and frequencies in the Lago Agrio canton, as a technical support prior to making decisions in the preparation of the needs study of the intracantonal public transport service.
