  • Mobilidade E Transportes No Grande Porto
    Revista da Faculdade de Letras — Geografia I série, vol. XV/XVI, Porto, 1999-2000, pp. 7 - 17 Mobilidade e transportes no Grande Porto Maria da Luz Costa1 1. Considerações introdutórias A finalidade de um sistema de transporte de passageiros é a movimentação de pessoas, não a movimentação de veículos. A movimentação de veículos, a sua paragem e estacionamento, é um meio para atingir este objectivo, não um objectivo em si. Em termos económicos, de gestão do espaço urbano, de segurança, de energia e ambiental, é sempre desejável atingir essa finalidade com um número mínimo de veículos. As características dos diferentes segmentos do mercado de deslocações, conjugadas com as vocações específicas de cada um dos modos de transporte, deverão determinar o equilíbrio correcto na repartição e na complementaridade dos modos de transporte de passageiros. Este equilíbrio é obviamente influenciado e induzido pelas condições e quantidade de oferta atribuídas a cada modo de transporte e pelos sistemas globais dos transportes públicos e individuais: muitas decisões de repartição modal são tomadas não em função de uma única deslocação, mas sim em função de um conjunto de deslocações quotidianas do agregado familiar. Para os utilizadores de transportes, o custo, o tempo e o conforto da deslocação têm uma influência decisiva na escolha da modalidade de transporte. Todavia, os utilizadores de automóveis originam uma série de custos em que eles próprios não incorrem e que, por isso, não consideram quando decidem como vão deslocar-se. Estes custos incluem impactes ambientais, como, por exemplo, a poluição sonora e do ar, e aspectos associados a acidentes, congestionamentos, utilização do espaço, entre outros.
