Estudio técnico para la definición de tarifas en el transporte público intracantonal del cantón Pelileo, provincia de Tungurahua

Abstract

The urban intracantonal public transportation system in Pelileo is complex and there is great dissatisfaction by the service operators, since the rates have not been updated since 2010, when the system began operations. The current rates were never defined based on a technical study and due to the evident increase in the value of the inputs used for the proper operation of the system, transporters do not receive the expected profits. That is why this study was prepared with the aim of determining ideal rates by analyzing the income, expenses, operational costs, supply and demand of the urban intracantonal public transportation system of Pelileo, for which the information provided was used. by the Ciudad Azul Urban Transportation Company, the only one authorized for this mode of transportation, also the information shared by the Tungurahua Transit Association and also the information collected in the field through the respective research instruments. For the technical analysis, the current methodology issued by the National Transit Agency served as a basis since different formulas were used that converge in it and also putting into practice the knowledge provided timely by the academy. This resulted in a technical rate of $0.33 for normal routes and a technical rate of $0.60 for extended routes.
