Abstract

We aim this research work at the “Analysis of Current Coverage Areas of the Commercial Transport Modality Taxis of the City of Riobamba, Province of Chimborazo, 2021”, with the purpose of applying tools of control and improvement corresponding to the planning of transport. The research started with the analysis of the current situation of the different conventional and executive cab operators using techniques and study instruments such as origin-destination surveys and observation sheets. By calculating the area of coverage with a reference radius of 300 meters in urban areas and 400 meters in peripheral areas, it was identified that the cab parking places are abnormally crowded in urban areas, and in those peripheral areas the service supply is deficient. With the results got, it has been possible to make a proposal for the relocation of the parking sites that do not comply with the walking distance for a pedestrian to access the service. Finally, we recommend to train professionals in the development of transportation planning regarding the proper use of public space and the development of control regulations for the fair distribution of urban facilities for cab service in the city of Riobamba.
