description By the end of the 1990s, inefficiency, excess supply and low service quality characterized the mass transit system of Bogotá. The average travel time to work was one hour and ten minutes, obsolete buses provided public transport, traffic generated 70 percent of air pollution and there were frequent traffic accidents. To address all of these issues, the municipal and national governments designed and put in place a new mass transit system named TransMilenio (TM), which came into operation in January 2001. The purpose of this paper is to analyze Bogotá's mass transit system before and after TM, study the political economy of its adoption process and conduct a cost-benefit analysis (CBA) of the first phase of the system. The new transit system is a hybrid model that combines public planning of the network structure, route tendering conditions, regulation and supervision, as well as private operation of the separated functions of revenue collection and transport service. The adoption of this new model needed to resolve delicate political economy issues that characterized private transport systems in many developing countries...

El tiempo de viaje promedio era de una hora y diez minutos, el servicio era proporcionado por buses obsoletos, el tráfico vehicular generaba el 70 por ciento de la polución y los accidentes de tránsito eran frecuentes. Para solucionar todos estos problemas, los gobiernos distrital y nacional diseñaron e implementaron un nuevo sistema de transporte masivo llamado TransMilenio (TM), el cual inició operaciones en Enero de 2001. El propósito de este artículo es examinar el sistema de transporte masivo en Bogotá antes y después de la implementación de TM, analizar la economía política del proceso de adopción y transición y llevar a cabo un análisis costobeneficio (CBA) de la primera fase del sistema. El nuevo sistema de tránsito es un modelo híbrido que combina la planeación pública de la infraestructura, asignación de las rutas, regulación y coordinación así como la operación privada de las diferentes funciones de recolección de ingresos...42 páginasapplication/pdfengUniversidad de los Andes, Facultad de Economía, CEDEDocumentos CEDE No. 28 Agosto de 2004https://ideas.repec.org/p/col/000089/003586.htmlThe economics of Transmilenio a mass transit system for BogotáAnálisis económico de Transmilenio, el sistema de transporte público de BogotáDocumento de trabajoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/workingPaperhttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_8042http://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85Texthttps://purl.org/redcol/resource_type/WPUrban transportPolitical economyCost-benefit analysisTransporte urbano - Análisis de costos - Bogotá (Colombia)Transmilenio (Medio de transporte) - Aspectos socioeconómicos - Bogotá (Colombia) - EvaluaciónEconomía políticaTransporte urbano - Aspectos socioeconómicos - Bogotá (Colombia) - EvaluaciónR41, D78, D61Facultad de EconomíaPublicationORIGINALdcede2004-28.pdfdcede2004-28.pdfapplication/pdf244650https://repositorio.uniandes.edu.co/bitstreams/cd388fae-8978-44a7-9898-8b6fbaaf6ea2/download34b7d9a503bd36fa0d5c2be7416cd445MD51THUMBNAILdcede2004-28.pdf.jpgdcede2004-28.pdf.jpgIM Thumbnailimage/jpeg18931https://repositorio.uniandes.edu.co/bitstreams/ba07cea0-a8e1-475f-8802-1d87f8117365/download2a126506f2417a594e04e49fe5776c0dMD55TEXTdcede2004-28.pdf.txtdcede2004-28.pdf.txtExtracted texttext/plain95664https://repositorio.uniandes.edu.co/bitstreams/e29d403b-a91d-4456-a13a-973c014bb85f/download45fe19fb6ee495984fa102a7b791f087MD541992/7883oai:repositorio.uniandes.edu.co:1992/78832024-06-04 15:40:13.098http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/open.accesshttps://repositorio.uniandes.edu.coRepositorio institucional Sénecaadminrepositorio@uniandes.edu.co
