Estación intermodal de transporte sostenible integración para el desarrollo ambiental y social

Abstract

The city of Bogota, as the capital of the Colombian state over the years, has become a representative centrality to the country, with approximately more than 7 million inhabitants (Cámara De Comercio De Bogotá, 2019), a fundamental aspect of the city are the ways in which its inhabitants are transported, being a great importance factor for social, economic and environmental development. Unfortunately, the city's means of transportation have been imposed indifferently with the urban environment, which generates social, economic and environmental conflicts. Transferring from one system to another generates cost overruns and waste of time, citizens prefer the use of private vehicles and the use of bicycles to get around (Acevedo et al., 2009). Currently the city presents multiple conflicts due to the excess of private vehicles, such as road congestion, pollution and few public spaces for pedestrians. All these factors present poor transport, which in turn generates a disconnection in communications in the city and the region, with the aim of connecting the territory, the public administration reactive the rail transport system with the Regiotram project, having another system to improve public transport and encourage its use. To achieve integrity and urban development in the city, it is necessary to articulate these and complementary means of transportation with the principles of sustainability (Montezuma, 2003).
