Abstract

Urban systems are structured through a complex induced network of communication channels. These access roads generally have obstructions and collapses depending on the saturation of the mode used in the transport of living matter and energy. In addition, in certain nodes of the system, there are connectivity and flow transfer processes. These flows make daily trips subject to the habitability-mobility nexus. The objective of this work is to analyze the characteristics of urban mobility related to the exchange and transfer of users in the new bus station in Guadalajara, Mexico. For this, the design software helped to use a series of qualitative and quantitative instruments. In this sense, the ethnographic experience on the site collected interesting information about the processes of exchange and transfer of users. The results show that the integration of public transport and urban planning can be seen from two different, although related, angles, a) strategy development and b) project development. Likewise, characteristics such as distance, travel time, waiting and flexibility of means of transport are some of the possibilities that have favored the acceptance of new modalities in territorial displacements and the use and acquisition of private vehicles. Hence the need to provide solutions to social needs, through changes in the mobility model.
