Abstract

Mexico City is one of the largest metropolis in the world, facing serious problems in providing a co-ordinated transport system. One of the worst outcomes is pollution caused by mobile sources; in addition, the low capacity modes have significantly increased its participation in individual's movement. This situation is aggravated in part by the lack of organisation from private concessionaires, that have restrained investment in infrastructure and equipment, resulting in low service quality and limited financial support for the modernisation of this sector. This document proposes various strategies to establish an action plan for Mexico City, to improve the transportation services and decrease the social cost, which is currently estimated around 8,000 million dollars annually.
