Estudio de factibilidad para la reubicación del terminal de transferencia de pasajeros intracantonal sur de la ciudad de Riobamba

Abstract

The feasibility study to implement an intraprovincial transportation terminal in Riobamba canton, province of Chimborazo, aims to prepare a technical study needed for the relocation of the satellite transportation system, by improving mobility, safety and connectivity of people. To carry out the study, a descriptive investigation was applied to identify relevant information, also, a field investigation through the application of surveys to transport users and observation chekclists that served as a basis to determine the existing demand in the city. This demand has made it possible to determine the type of terminal to be implemented, in accordance with the Resolution No. 053- DIR2010-CNTTTSV issued by Agencia Nacional de Transporte Terrestre, Tránsito y Seguridad Vial, which indicates the stages to follow to implement a terminal in Ecuador. It should be noted that the scope of this project is up to stage II as the following aspects correspond to studies defined in other areas. The analysis determines the feasibility to relocate the facilities of the terminal from the southern area of Riobamba city, which currently have 7 operators, 557 frequency / day, 7,434 passengers per day between 13H00 to 15H00, that represent the maximum demand. Therefore, the implementation of a type III transportation terminal system for passengers is feasible. It is recommended to create an ordinance that complies with the administrative management of the terminal for its appropriate operations.
