    In 2016 a large catch-up* in infrastructure investments is being confirmed by several Latin American countries, driven by the knowledge that economic growth relies heavily on quality infrastructure. The transport sector is going to firmly benefit from the expected increase in public and private funds. The continent being one of the most urbanized regions in the world, a large focus goes into urban rail projects: Mexico, Guatemala, Paraguay, Colombia, Chile, Brazil… are planning new projects for metro, light rail, high speed rail, monorail and passenger trains. One country is clearly taking the lead: Argentina. Besides boosting its investment climate and PPP laws, Argentina made public the ambitious 8-year 14.187 m USD investment in Buenos Aires` commuter network. Related key projects are the city`s RER and tunneling of the Sarmiento line. The Latin America Passenger Rail Expansion Summit will bring together local and international stakeholders, government officials, operators, developers, architects, consultants and equipment plus solution providers to discuss the current rail sector. *300.000 m USD is what Latam should be investing annually, versus the 150.000 m USD spent annually on infrastructure in the previous 20 years. http://latinamerica.railexpansionsummit.com OUTLOOK SOME OF THE TO BE INVITED DELEGATES Argentina foresees 14187 m USD ANPTrilhos INCOFER, Costa Rica Ministerio de Transporte y Comunicaciones, Peru 14187 investment in AFE Uruguay VLT Carioca Consortium Directorio de Transporte Público Metropolitano, Chile suburban network.

La MetroCultura no empieza en este documento. La MetroCultura se ha venido desarrollando durante toda la fase de construcción del Metro de Quito como una estrategia de acompañamiento social que ha permitido que la obra, que hoy está prácticamente concluida, pudiese llevarse a cabo en términos favorables para la colectividad y comunidad. A través de sus Promotores Sociales, el Metro de Quito implementó el Programa de Gestión Social y Relaciones Comunitarias, con el objetivo de incluir, informar y acompañar a todos los agentes implicados en la construcción de esta importante obra en un sentido de apropiación y participación sobre el sistema, las características del proceso de construcción y sus dificultades, entre otras. La relación con los habitantes de las zonas constructivas es vigente, y se complementa con la comunicación permanente y continua retroalimentación recibida por la ciudadanía en general, lo que ha generado un sentido de pertenencia que hoy en día da paso a un modelo de comunidad participativa.

  • The Urban Rail Development Handbook
    DEVELOPMENT THE “ The Urban Rail Development Handbook offers both planners and political decision makers a comprehensive view of one of the largest, if not the largest, investment a city can undertake: an urban rail system. The handbook properly recognizes that urban rail is only one part of a hierarchically integrated transport system, and it provides practical guidance on how urban rail projects can be implemented and operated RAIL URBAN THE URBAN RAIL in a multimodal way that maximizes benefits far beyond mobility. The handbook is a must-read for any person involved in the planning and decision making for an urban rail line.” —Arturo Ardila-Gómez, Global Lead, Urban Mobility and Lead Transport Economist, World Bank DEVELOPMENT “ The Urban Rail Development Handbook tackles the social and technical challenges of planning, designing, financing, procuring, constructing, and operating rail projects in urban areas. It is a great complement HANDBOOK to more technical publications on rail technology, infrastructure, and project delivery. This handbook provides practical advice for delivering urban megaprojects, taking account of their social, institutional, and economic context.” —Martha Lawrence, Lead, Railway Community of Practice and Senior Railway Specialist, World Bank HANDBOOK “ Among the many options a city can consider to improve access to opportunities and mobility, urban rail stands out by its potential impact, as well as its high cost. Getting it right is a complex and multifaceted challenge that this handbook addresses beautifully through an in-depth and practical sharing of hard lessons learned in planning, implementing, and operating such urban rail lines, while ensuring their transformational role for urban development.” —Gerald Ollivier, Lead, Transit-Oriented Development Community of Practice, World Bank “ Public transport, as the backbone of mobility in cities, supports more inclusive communities, economic development, higher standards of living and health, and active lifestyles of inhabitants, while improving air quality and liveability.

Agarwal, S. Chandra and K.K. Miglani on METRO RAIL IN INDIA . Metros across the World have been in operation since the late 1800s and transport millions of commuters across cities every day. There are now more than 190 Metro Installations globally with an average of about 190 million daily passengers. The first Metro Rail, that went underground, had been in London, England, and opened as an underground steam train for the public on 10st January 1863: llustration of a Train at Praed Street Junction near Paddington, 1863; from: History Today, Volume 63, Issue 1, January, 2013 Vintage London Underground Steam Train; Source “Made up in Britain” 1 Thed worl over, the 21st Century observed the opening of many new Metro Lines, the extension o f existing Metro Systems and the acquisition of modern Rolling Stocks, mostly in Asian Countries.

  • Un Deseo Llamado Metro Buitron, Ricardo-1
    Análisis: Un deseo llamado metro? UN DESEO LLAMADO METRO? Crítica a la propuesta de transporte masivo para la ciudad de Quito Ricardo Buitrón C. Un Metro para Quito. Sistemas de transporte masivo en la ciudad. Obsolescencia programada del sistema. Más de lo mismo. La ciudad que queremos. Un Metro para Quito. La propuesta de construir un Metro en la ciudad de Quito pretende imponerse en el imaginario ciudadano, más que como una propuesta necesaria, debatida, consensuada, o como decía algun funcionario público “VA, PORQUE VA!”, a punta de campañas publicitarias, un bombardeo mediático que en vez de aclarar dudas genera desconfianza. Aparentes certezas aún antes de que los estudios a la medida hayan concluido, el deterioro y colapso del sistema de corredores exclusivos de transporte público, a pesar del discurso de lo “complementario” que resulta para el Metro es algo que indigna y que denigra a sus usuarios, convertidos en víctimas de decisiones, negligencias políticas y administrativas, se pretende resolver el problema de la movilidad en la ciudad haciendo más de lo mismo, lo que que ha sido demostrado en otras ciudades que no funciona, sin considerar que la movilidad es algo más que velocidad y que necesita ser entendida como parte de un concepto integral de ciudad. El actual alcalde de Quito Augusto Barrera, cuando aún era candidato, como promesa de campaña electoral lanzó de improviso la propuesta de construir un Metro para la ciudad, antes había expresado también que el mejoramiento de los sistemas BRT era una mejor opción para el transporte.[1] Por qué escogió construir el Metro en la ciudad, es la pregunta que nos hacemos luego de revisar varios estudios y análisis sobre los cambios en los sistemas de transporte en la ciudad y en la región en las últimas décadas.
