Abstract

The objective of this degree work was to carry out a feasibility study for the implementation of a Passenger Ground Terminal in Quero canton, Tungurahua province, and thus meet the need of the population for an improvement in the service. For carrying out the research, before obtaining data, descriptive research was used and subsequently, field research through the application of surveys and measurement of passenger ascent and descent capacity, allowed to obtain the demand of the canton. One time after analyzing the supply and demand of public transport, a technical study was carried out based on parameters established in Resolution No. 053- DIR-2010-CNTTTSV of the National Agency of Transit that lists 5 phases for the implementation of a land terminal. It should be noted that in this research, only the first two phases were carried out since the rest concern other technical areas; However, as it was a feasibility project, an economic study was carried out. The development of the first two phases is reflected in the following data: average number of users per day is 5,517 users, 3,574 of public transport and 1,131 of commercial transportation; the number of daily frequencies is 216 among the 3 operators of public transport; the analysis of the economic impact is defined based on financial indicators and a NPV of $ 34,319.18 and an IRR of 16% is established, the initial investment will be recovered in 6 years, and from the seventh year it will make a profit. Therefore, it is established that the implementation of a type III Passenger Transport Terminal in Quero Canton, is feasible. It is recommended the development of a municipal ordinance that regulates the management administrative terminalfor its proper functioning.
