Abstract

Overall urban population growth rates have been high in the period between 1975 and 2001. In the city of Maputo, migration was the main factor for this increase. This growth of population increased also the problems of transportation. The results of this situation are successive rises in all sectors. Private transport or public transport both are complementary in their offer of services to city dwellers. The question is how and in which path can be followed to improve transport for people as the population grew dramatically and the infrastructures have grown slowly. In the area under study, the city of Maputo, transportation problems have changed in the past 20 years, and will certainly exist in the future. The essence of our argument is to show that in spite of all the above mentioned problems, the transport services could be better if public and private sectors cooperate closer so that both would complement each other.
