Actualmente la cobertura abarca 8 áreas metropolitanas (Barranquilla, Bogotá, Bucaramanga, Cali, Cúcuta, Manizales, Medellín, Pereira) y 15 ciudades del país. Mensualmente se recolecta y consolida información por tipo de vehículo y nivel de servicio; en lo referente al parque automotor se recoge información sobre viajes recorridos, kilómetros recorridos, pasajeros movilizados y tarifa diurna vigente. Las variables principales de la encuesta son el parque automotor y el número de pasajeros transportados por las empresas legalmente constituidas, que prestan el servicio de transporte y que tienen asociado el pago de una tarifa cuyo valor es determinado por las autoridades competentes (Secretaría de Tránsito y Transporte) en cada uno de los municipios.

Background. In response to the poor quality of the transport service and after the initial success of Bogota’s BRT system (Transmilenio), the Government of Colombia structured the National Urban Transport Program (NTUP) through the implementation of transport systems in the main cities of the country. The program scope contemplated: i) support for the construction of BRT infrastructure, including stations, portals, pedestrian bridges and the generation and adaptation of Public Disclosure Authorized public space, and (ii) transformation of the relationship between the Government and the transport companies, including the remodeling of their business structure from affiliate companies into concessionaries that would provide a service, in order to eliminate the so called “penny war”. Public Disclosure Authorized BRT station and articulated bus Interior view of the station The proposed scheme defined that the infrastructure would be financed with public resources, with a contribution from the National Government up to 70%, given that fleet and operation expenses were borne by private operators. For the development of the projects, each participating city created an entity in charge of the planning, construction, contracting and control of the operation1 Public Disclosure Authorized (Implementing Agency). The entities created are presented in the following table: 1 In Bogotá the Urban Development Institute (IDU) has been in charge of the construction of infrastructure, and in Medellín, Metro Company has been in charge of the acquisition of vehicles and their operation.
