Abstract
Mobility in Mexico City is the most important urban and environmental challenge today. Traffic congestion and poor air quality are symptoms of an ineffectively planned city with an inefficient public transport system. The solution requires a comprehensive visualization of a coherent public policy package and coordination between local and federal authorities. n In order to tackle this problem, indispensable solutions such as extending the subway system, known as the Metro, and the construction of Bus Transit Rapid (BTR) lines or new train systems have been contemplated. However, the transformation of urban mobility also requires rethinking public space in order to make it more pedestrian- and cyclist-friendly.
