Plan de dotación de paradas de autobuses en las parroquias rurales del cantón Guano, provincia de Chimborazo, período 2022

Abstract

The "Plan for the provision of bus stops for the rural area of Guano Canton" is a research project whose main purpose was to introduce a plan for the provision of bus stops necessary for the routes covered by the operators: San Lucas, San Andrés, San Isidro, and the Condor to the rural areas of the Guano canton. This research methodology included a qualitative approach in which observation sheets helped determine the state of the bus stops, establishing different parameters such as road geometry, furniture, and signage. This research involved a descriptive level since it was necessary to determine the current situation of the bus stops. It also involved an exploratory level and a non-experimental research design because the data or information was collected directly in the field of study, and the results were verified without a laboratory. The information collection was possible using research instruments, such as observation sheets, surveys, and interviews. As a result, the bus stops in the rural areas of the Guano canton require improving their technical conditions. In addition, it was possible to notice a deterioration due to the lack of maintenance. To conclude, there is an absence of 19 bus stops required on the routes of the rural areas of the Guano canton. However, implementing this project can improve the organization and mobility of its inhabitants. Finally, it is recommended that the Decentralized Autonomous Government of Guano Canton work with the Directorate of Transit, Land Transportation and Road Safety to maintain existing stops based on the corresponding laws and transport regulations.
