Abstract

The present study was aimed to carry out a technical study of routes and frequencies in Zamora, through the application of research tools to the improvement of the urban public transport system in the city. The study was developed by applying a quantitative and qualitative modality, with the collection of numerical and statistical data through documents, surveys, daily work charts, operating permits, in the area of transportation which involves numbers, percentages and statistical analysis in general obtaining as a result that there is an overlap of routes in the 3 existing lines, the operating speed of line 1 Timbara - El Limón average throughout the route of 22 km / h, reducing its operating speed to 15 km / h in the section that goes from Predesur to the municipal market. Based on this, it was concluded to redesign lines 2 and 3 so that no overlap on line 1 and thus be able to solve the conflict you have in line present the continuous corridor of buses and the decrease in operating speed of the Line 1 in the Predesur - municipal market section due to the incidence of the overlap of the 3 lines. In this sector, Empresa Mancomunada de Movilidad Sustentable de Zamora is recommended to develop the appropriate layouts of routes and frequencies before making decisions to develop the study about the needs of the intracantonal public transport service, since the geography of the area causes a loss in the continuous flow of the vehicular circulation in Zamora especially in the downtown area that goes from Predesur to the Terminal increasing the travel time of the existing routes.
