Title: | The social problem of public bus transportation in Montevideo: a critical look. El problema social del transporte público en ómnibus en Montevideo: una mirada crítica. |
Publisher: | Universidad de Guadalajara |
Description: | This paper seeks to contribute to the debate on the social problem of public transportation in Latin America, taking as a specific research object the public bus transportation in the city of Montevideo, where the system went through a privatization process that was object of criticism by specialists and questioning of its results by the users of the service. We resorted to studies on the subject of passenger transportation and made inroads into the empirical universe of travel through flottant observation in passenger terminals, interviews and application of questionnaires with passengers who experience the routine of travel in the public transport service in their city. In all, fifteen interviews were conducted with Uruguayans and Brazilians living in Montevideo, and twenty questionnaires were applied. We have tried to understand the perception of the users regarding the problems they experience in their daily transportation using elements of comparison between Brazil and Uruguay. Este trabajo busca contribuir para el debate acerca de la cuestión social del transporte público en América Latina, teniendo como objetivo de investigación el transporte en ómnibus de Montevideo, donde el sistema pasa por un proceso de privatización objeto de critica por expertos y questionamientos de sus resultados por los usuarios. Para eso, acudimos a los estudios a cerca de la temática del transporte de pasajeros, avances en el universo empírico de los viajes a través de la observación flottante en los terminales, entrevistas y cuestionarios con pasajeros que vivencian a la rutina de los viajes en el servicio de transporte público en su ciudad. En total han sido realizadas quinces entrevistas con uruguayos y brasileños residentes en Montevideo y aplicado veinte cuestionarios. Buscamos comprender la percepción de los usuarios con respecto a los problemas vivenciados en el cotidiano del transporte recurriendo a elementos de comparación entre Brasil y Uruguay. |
