Modal Integration with other modes.
Jorge Minteguiaga
Content of this presentation
•Some basic premises
•Why Integration?
•Improving the passenger’s experience
•Integration & non motorized modes
•Conclusions
Basic premises
• The TRANSPORT SYSTEM of a city is the SUM of ALL MEANS of TRANSPORT
• Different MODES should be COMPLEMENTARY, not competitors.
• In order to INTEGRATE, first LEVEL OUT
In order to Integrate, first Level Out
Authorities, Buses, Metros, Taxis, bikers, etc
•Barriers between different actors, with different political and economic-financial interests…
•Require a strong legal framework (clear rules and regulatory contracts) and an Organizing Authority.
In order to Integrate, first Level Out
Basic premises
• The Proper Mean of Transport…
• …At the Proper Place…
• …For the Proper Objective.
Why Integration?
• Rational, Cost-effective & Efficient Public Transport System=Integrated & Optimized Modes
• But also Improving the passenger’s experience in PT
Why Integration?
• PAX desire “non stop-non transfer” journeys
• But the Transport Network is composed by different systems (buses, trains, mototaxi, etc)
• Commuters has to transfer between modes, with a feeling of “time loss” and “discomfort”.
Brisbane’s approach: “minimise the need to transfer but maximise the opportunity to transfer”
•Lack of Integrated Planning
•Routes and Modes Overlapping
•Not suited Infrastructure Design
•Systems appear rational if analized separately, but desorganized if viewed as a Whole.
•Negative impact on Customers and Costs
Integration in Latin America
•Systems operated by different agents and public authorities at different levels of goverment.
•The more organizations are involved, the more complex is institutional integration.
•High Costs of implementing & mantaining Integration Terminals
•Incompatible Ticketing Systems makes Fare Integration difficult
•Fare policies don’t incentivate integrated tickets
Integration in Latin America
New institutional framework: Single Authority of Transport:•Harmonic policies,•Integrate physical infrastructures & fares to benefit users•Cost reduction•Diminish externalities such as congestion,•pollution, accidents, etc.
Transport Planning, Implementation, Operation & Maintenance is a joint effort
Integration in Latin America
Best practices:
•Sao Paulo, Curitiba, Goiâna, Recife (Brazil) and Bogotá in Colombia have particularly successful transport systems.
•Curitiba, Goiâna and Recife created a Metropolitan Transport Authority.

How to improve passenger’s experience?
•Fare payment fast & easy
•Discounts, special fares and complementary fares
Feeder Bus$ 0,60
Feeder Bus+ $ 0,06
Trunk/Subway+ $ 0,14
TOTAL FARE= $ 0,80

How to improve passenger’s experience
Non motorized modes:Bicycles
• Problems in PT made inhabitants switch to motorcycle and bicycles as an alternative
• Citizens: became more active, creating organizations to defend the “space” for bicycles,
• They negociate with authorities: inclusion of bicycles in PT Planning, exclusive cycle lanes
• Authorities: perception is changing: bicycles are not bad!
Non motorized modes:Bicycles
Bicycles sales (also witha small motor called “Mosquito”) increased because of Transantiago.

• Integration is a highly desirable goal, in order to incentivate use of PT; and cut costs of overlapping systems.
• In Latin America, a lot of work has to be done.
• Different modes are still in strong competition.
• BRT triggers integration and changes.
• Bikes: Authorities perception is changing
