    Informe especial - Febrero 2015 Tranvías y otros sistemas de transporte urbano Despilfarros y aciertos Tras un primer estudio llevado a cabo en 2012, Carril Bus en colaboración con la consultora Solutrans, vuelve a analizar la situación de las infraestructuras de transporte puestas en funcionamiento en las últimas décadas en España, especialmente de los tranvías. El siguiente artículo se centra en su utilidad, justificación y en la mejora para la vida cotidiana que aportan a los ciudadanos Según afirma el autor del texto, Gregory Carmona, “parece que en ocasiones hubiesen sido proyectos utilizados más allá de su fin como medios de transporte, para generar actividad local u otras operaciones con dudosos fines, elevando la inversión inicial realmente necesaria”. Y la realidad es que estas inversiones siguen siendo en la actualidad objeto de críticas. ¿Será que dichas críticas a estos proyectos de tranvías y metros ligeros están justificadas? Es lo que Gregory Carmona, experto en transportes y autor del informe, vuelve a analizar en detalle desde un punto de vista técnico y socio económico. Un estUdio realizado con criterio referencias el autor del estudio, Gregory carmona, lleva más de 15 años en el mundo del transporte de viajeros, ha trabajado en planificación, operación y gestión de transporte urbano / interurbano de autobuses y participado en proyectos de tranvías. títulos se formó como técnico superior de transporte en lyon antes de entrar en la escuela de dirección de transporte y logística en Paris. luego, se graduó Master en transporte, Urbanismo, Medio ambiente por la universidad de cergy Pontoise (Versailles) antes de especializarse en transporte terrestre en la UPM.

  • Possibilities to Introduce a Tourist Tram Line in the City of Zagreb
    May , Zadar, Croatia th International Conference on Road and Rail Infrastructure PossibiliTieS to introduCe A touRist tram liNe iN The CiTy Of ZAgReb Marko Slavulj, ino Šojat, Božo Radulović, Filip Sirovica University of Zagreb, Faculty of Transport and Traffic Sciences, Croatia Abstract Presenting history of public transport in the City of Zagreb, especially by trams, is currently a matter of negligence in the past decades, because there is an unused potential in form of old trams standing in depots. Firstly, the paper gives examples of good practice in Europe- an cities regarding old trams, emphasizing their efforts to conserve cultural and technical heritage. Additionally, an overview of old trams in Zagreb (preserved and non-preserved, operational and non-operational) in the original form is presented. The paper also proposes the introduction of a tourist tram line as an additional service easily accessible to citizens and tourists, provided by the public transport authority in Zagreb. In creating the tourist line solution, the following was taken into consideration: optimization, resource savings, quality of the offer, and the costs. The proposed tourist line solution would lead to creating a better public transport image among the public, resulting in increased transport demand, better finances, improved vehicle utilization and even more sustainable modal split. In addition to the mentioned, there are also operational benefits for the old tram fleet, since the museum trams are best preserved by using them. The paper especially highlights the importance of popularizing public transport in the City of Zagreb as a part of cultural heritage for both citi- zens and tourists.
