Mexibus BRT Corridor System, State of Mexico:

planning and politics

Abstract

The experience of those of us who dedicate ourselves to studying the territory and the numerous projects that are forged and proposed on it, reassures us that there are more and more cases in which planning and programming processes are omitted. These projects are the ones that present the greatest incidence in the territory and those that mostly define the destination of cities and regions. Therefore, the review of the planning model for Bus Rapid Transit or BRT corridors seeks to explore the way in which systems of such magnitude are conceptualized, projected and built, as well as the implications that arise around mobile agents and their condition of access and connectivity with BRT corridor systems. Although the general contribution is the review of the methodology proposed here, which results in a perfectible and comparable model for BRT systems, it is considered, in the same way, the analysis of the emergence of the systems and their planning conditions, since, As will be seen in this article, the initiative of political and economic actors in the implementation of BRT corridors is vital for their consensus.
