20. Transmilenio’s Model (Mexico, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru,…)
! Build BRT Corridors/Network
(trunk-feeded high capacity system in
parallel to conventional buses)
! Need to eliminate competition with
conventional buses and extend better quality
to the whole city
! Create an Integrated
Transport System
In

Transport System (some BRT,
most bus corridors)
Low Investments, Insuficient Transit Priority,

Transporta1on
in
Cali
• Up
to
now
– Started
to
implement
a
modern,
integrated
transit
system
• We
s1ll
had
to
– Create
a
sustainable
mul1modal
mobility
plan:
recognizes
all
modes
of
transport
but
focuses
on
maintaining
mode
share
for
transit,
bike,
and
walk
trips
• Invest
in
infrastructure
for
walk
and
bike
trips
• Integrate
bike,
walk,
and
taxi
trips
to
transit
effec1vely
• Integrate
regional
transit
to
the
city’s
MIO
system
• Improve
quality
of
service
in
MIO
system
• Discourage
use
of
private
cars
and
motorcycles
• Create
educa1onal
programs
to
reduce
accident

– Create

– Concession

33. Challenges
and
Lessons
Learned
• Replacing
old
system
–
balancing
act
– Implementa1on
schedule
• Too
fast
(San1ago,
Chile)
–
chaos
• Too
slow
(Bogota,
Colombia)
–
process
may
never
finish
– Who
buys
out
old
operators
and
bus
owners?
• Government
• New
operators
• No
one
– Poli1cal
will
is
absolutely
necessary
to
enforce
all
necessary
measures
to
replace
old
system
while
having
a
fair
process
• Difficult
social
process
–
impact
on
bus
owners,
drivers,
other
informal
workers
in
the
industry

34. Challenges
and
Lessons
Learned
• Integrated
Network
Design
– Usually,
the
conven1onal
system
in
developing
countries
is
a
privately
operated
over-­‐supplied
system,
which
results
in
good
level
of
service
for
users
regarding
access
and
wai1ng
1me,
and
no
transfers
– Generally,
Integrated
Network
Systems
introduce
transfers
to
trips,
which
is
perceived
as
poor
level
of
service
• A
ra1onalized
Integrated
Network
System
may
be
efficient
from
a
supply
point
of
view
but
it
may
deteriorate
the
Level
of
Service
perceived
by
users
– Number
of
buses
and
route
design
is
crucial

35. Challenges
and
Lessons
learned
• Cultural
change
– Fare
collec1on
system
• Learn
to
use
and
trust
a
fare-­‐card
system
instead
of
cash
is
difficult
for
typical
lower-­‐income
user
of
transit
in
developing
countries
– Understanding
maps
and
way-­‐finding
signs
– Vehicles
stop
only
at
designated
stops
• Ins1tu1onal
and
Organiza1onal
Capabili1es
– Implemen1ng
an
organized
system
requires
many
trained
professionals
–
Authority,
operators,
designers
– Being
part
of
SIBRT
has
helped
to
train
Metrocali’s
staff

36. Challenges
and
Lessons
learned
• Fare
Collec1on
System
– Contact-­‐less
rechargeable
card
– Enough
points
of
sales
and
recharge
– Has
become
No.
1
deterrent
for
people
to
use
the
MIO
system

37. Challenges
and
Lessons
learned
• Economic
Model
– It
was
designed
to
cover
all
opera1onal
costs
– The
MIO
system
is
not
there
yet
– Operators
are
s1ll
injec1ng
money
every
month
into
their
opera1ons
– Demand
has
to
increase
to
reach
breaking
point
• In
a
citywide
integrated
system,
there
will
be
low-­‐performing
routes,
that
are
a
social
service
– Can
it
be
sustained
without
opera1onal
subsidies?
