Estudio de factibilidad para la implementación de un sistema de transporte público intracantonal en el cantón Naranjito provincia del Guayas

Abstract

The objective of this Curricular Integration Work was to conduct a feasibility study for the implementation of the intracantonal public transport system within the canton Naranjito based on Resolution No. 006-CNC-2012 that enables the transfer of powers to the Decentralized Autonomous Governments in transport, transit and road safety so that they have the power to plan, regulate and control within their constituency. A mixed research was used in which the advantages of the quantitative and qualitative methods were taken, with an exploratory and descriptive level of research, for which the survey, interview and observation cards were applied as research tools. A total of 381 surveys were conducted, and once the tabulation was done, a 90% feasibility and acceptance rate was obtained from the inhabitants regarding the implementation of the urban public transportation system, 3 routes were established, obtaining approximately 22.82 km that will cover the transportation system within the urban and rural sector of the canton, based on the technical requirements of the National Transit Agency and the methodology presented by Molineros, a proposal was designed which covers all the components that the system needs to provide a safe, fast, accessible and efficient service within a schedule of 06:00 to 18:00 hours: 00 to 18:00 hours. It is concluded that the current offer does not satisfy the inhabitants' need for transportation, thus generating an unsatisfied demand. It is recommended to implement an intracantonal public transport system to improve the mobility of the inhabitants and thus also help the socioeconomic development of the canton Naranjito.
