A Reading Public Transport Concession in Mexico City from the Perspective of Urban Order

Abstract

This article proposes a reading of public transport under concession in Mexico City from theperspective of urban order analysis -a concept developed by Emilio Duhau and Angela Giglia invarious studies. To do this, five spatial operators are defined from which the functional structureof the transport under concession will dialogue with regulations and spatial practices ofthe users of bus routes. Thus, it is possible to have a vision of public transport in Mexico Citythat recognize the existence of both continuities and ruptures in the structure of this publicservice, away from the traditional look of chaos. This working approach seeks to contribute tounderstanding the implementation process of Metrobús transport system (Bus Rapid Transit)operating in the city for ten years ago.
