A mobilidade urbano-regional tem merecido destaque nos espaços em processo de metropolização (DRUCIAKI, 2014, 2015). Na Região Metropolitana de Londrina-RML, o único modo vigente de transporte público que atende a essa mobilidade é o Transporte Rodoviário Metropolitano do Interior-TRM. Fatores como a falta de efetivação da região metropolitana, e a ausência de planejamento nessa escala, comprometem a mobilidade pelo transporte público, destoando daquilo que foi preconizado na criação do recorte espacial institucional. Diante disso, problemas pontuais vivenciados pelos usuários do sistema são reflexos de questões estruturais de ordem política, técnica e econômica.   Palavras-chave: Transporte público; Mobilidade; Londrina; Região Metropolitana.   MOBILITY AND PUBLIC TRANSPORT IN THE METROPOLITAN REGION OF LONDRINA-PR: institutional and spatiality frameworks Abstract The urban-regional mobility has been highlighted in the spaces of metropolization process (DRUCIAKI, 2014, 2015). In the metropolitan area of Londrina-RML, the only effective mode of public transport that meets this mobility is the Road Transport Metropolitan-TRM. Factors such as the lack of effectiveness of the metropolitan area, and the lack of planning, make the dynamics of mobility by different public transportation that recommended the creation of institutional spatial area. Therefore, specific problems experienced by users of the system are reflections of structural issues of political, technical and economic.

Transport Mobility

The concept of sustainable development, applied to cities, leads necessarily to give a large place to pedestrians, to cyclists and to public transport, which returns the viability to cities, by eliminating the enlargement of cars number, urban sprawl, accidents, traffic, pollution, and especially the huge consumption of energy, caused by cars and private transport. Mobility problems (traffic, transport...) are became more and more important, to study and resolve, because of their highest consumption of energy. Our research task is focused especially on the road transport of passengers, because it is a mode very large-scale consumer of energy which is often aimed by the energy policies. This leads us to study the dependence between energy and transport, then to study the intramodality of transport by encouraging public transport. But for that the passengers leave their cars and move towards public transport, this requires the development of a high-quality public transport, which is conquering with that of private vehicles, and therefore moderate the high consumption of energy. For that one of an important problem of stop location especially in the big cities is set.

Transport Mobility

This paper analyzes the relation between COVID-19, air pollution, and public transport mobility in the Mexico City Metropolitan Area (MCMA). We test if the restrictions to economic activity introduced to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 are associated with a structural change in air pollution levels and public transport mobility. Our results show that mobility in public transportation was significantly reduced following the government's recommendations. Nonetheless, we show that the reduction in mobility was not accompanied by a reduction in air pollution. Furthermore, Granger-causality tests show that the precedence relation between public transport mobility and air pollution disappeared as a product of the restrictions. Thus, our results suggest that air pollution in the MCMA seems primarily driven by industry and private car usage. In this regard, the government should redouble its efforts to develop policies to reduce industrial pollution and private car usage.

ResumenEl objeto del estudio analiza las implicaciones de la liberización del transporte público en el desarrollo de las nuevas centralidades urbanas de la capital del Perú. Centralidades que emergieron en aquella ciudad popular autoconstruida, en donde la red de transporte público, basada en las denominadas “combis”, fue determinante en su evolución. De esta manera se reconsidera el trascendente significado de la relación recíproca entre la movilidad y la estructuración urbana. Vinculando el proceso de crecimiento urbano disperso, la estructuración vial, los conglomerados productivos, y las características de la movilidad en el tiempo; y de como estos, han contribuido a configurar la morfología y dinámica urbana de la ciudad, entendiendo desde este enfoque, el modelo urbano en Lima entre finales del siglo XX y principios del siglo XXI. La investigación utiliza un método principalmente cuantitativo para demostrar la relación entre movilidad y estructuración urbana, y de cómo esta proporción está relacionada con la concentración económica. Para ello se ha desarrollado un modelo de conectividad y accesibilidad hacia y desde las centralidades estudiadas. De esta manera el componente movilidad–transporte se toma como condicionante en los procesos urbanos y territoriales, que en contraste a las centralidades asociadas a nodos de autopistas de suburbios de sociedades altamente motorizadas, en Lima, es el sistema de transporte público-“combis” es quien refuerza dichas centralidades. Palabras clave  Movilidad en Latinoamérica, Liberalización del Transporte Público - “combi”, Centralidad Interdistrital, Ciudad Popular, Dispersión Urbana AbstractThe objective of the study analyzes the implications of the liberalization of public transport in the development of the new urban centralities of the capital of Peru. Centralities that emerged in that self-built popular city, where the public transport network, based on the so-called "combis", was determinant in its evolution. In this way the transcendent meaning of the reciprocal relationship between mobility and urban structuring is reconsidered. Linking the process of dispersed urban growth, road structuring, productive conglomerates, and the characteristics of mobility over time; and how these have contributed to shape the urban morphology and dynamics of the city, understanding from this approach the urban model in Lima between the end of the twentieth century and the beginning of the twenty-first century. The research uses a mainly quantitative method to demonstrate the relationship between mobility and urban structuring, and how this proportion is related to economic concentration. For this, a model of connectivity and accessibility has been developed to and from the centralities studied. In this way the mobility-transport component is taken as a conditioner in the urban and territorial processes, that in contrast to the centralities associated to suburban motorway nodes of highly motorized societies, in Lima, is the system of public transportation "combis" Is who reinforces these centralities.

Las condiciones de movilidad de los ciudadanos no son equitativas, están atravesadas por diversos factores como el nivel socio-económico, las capacidades motrices, la edad y el género. Esta investigación se enfoca en la movilidad en transporte público de mujeres que residen en un barrio precario de Cuenca: la Ciudadela Jaime Roldós; se estudia la incidencia de la distribución territorial en sus desplazamientos. Para ello, se analiza, mediante entrevistas semi – estructuradas y cartografía social, de qué forma perciben sus recorridos en autobús al atravesar la ciudad. Se encuentra que el defciente servicio de transporte público produce viajes extensos, lo que provoca que las entrevistadas inviertan mucho tiempo en movilizarse. Así también, la percepción de inseguridad constante, el acoso y violencia sexual es un factor que defne sus viajes; no obstante, preferen el autobús por su economía. Estudios como este permiten visibilizar que las condiciones de movilidad aún están lejos de ser equitativas para todos los ciudadanos.  Palabras clave: Transporte público, derecho a la ciudad, movilidad cotidiana, barrio precario, equidad de género AbstractThis thesis focuses on the daily mobility on public transportation of women residing in a precarious neighborhood of Cuenca. The incidence  of territorial distribution on displacements was studied. To achieve this, an analysis, through semi - structured interviews and social cartography on how they perceive their bus routes when crossing the city, was carried out. It was found that poor public transport  service produced extensive travel, which caused respondents to spend a lot of time to get around. Likewise, the perception of constant insecurity,harassment and sexual violence was a factor that defned their travels. Yet, they preferred bus service for its economy.

The study of contract labour and its implications for industrial regulation has been neglected in Australia. As an initial attempt to remedy past neglect, this paper offers an account of contract labour (in the form of self-employed o wner-drivers) and its regulation in one section of the road transport industry, namely, the delivery of ready-mixed concrete in the Sydney metropolitan area. This industry represents an unusual example of contractors becoming strongly unionised and establishing an effective pattern of joint regulation over their rates and conditions. The close relationship between the contractors and the Transport Workers Union has also led to the industry playing an important role in the wider struggle between unions and employers in New South Wales over legislation designed to regulate contract labour.

Study Results

The limited availability of public transportation in Saudi Arabia leads to an increased demand for private vehicles. An increase in using private cars does not meet the global sustainability goals, e.g., reducing energy consumption and improving the air quality. Road users should be encouraged to use sustainable mobility modes, particularly public transportation, equally accessible to both men and women However, women’s mobility has been somewhat limited and challenged in spatio-temporal terms, and partly due to socio-cultural barriers. This study attempts to understand the gender experience of a sample of public transport users and consider their aspirations and needs into daily mobility. A survey campaign (structured interviews and online questionnaires) was launched in the Dammam Metropolitan Region (DMR), taking four different types of respondents into account. The results suggest a predominant preference for taxis for shopping and leisure activities due to a poor public transport service, pivotally characterized by limited operational routes, hours, and infrastructure. This study ponders upon the adequacy of the supporting infrastructures and interior design of the public buses to women’s needs and compare them with global best practices. The results suggest that, due to the absence of a gender-responsive design and infrastructure, women are forced to use taxis, although privacy and a sense of insecurity often become concerns when traveling alone or with children. The study results allow future research to be expanded, considering women’s mobility patterns, needs, and embedded barriers by comparing the results with current transport policies, plans, and practices.

And Performance

The Jati Kudus Terminal, which plays an important role as a public transportation node on the North Coast of Java Island, has experienced a continual decline in performance and service. This study aims to determine the effect of green terminal concept variables in the Jati Kudus Terminal using the multiple linear regression methods with SPSS 23. Data collection tool in the form of questionnaires distributed to respondents, namely terminal users who know the development of the Jati Kudus terminal every day. The perception data used in the analysis is the level of interest and satisfaction with the service and performance of the Jati Kudus terminal. The evaluation of terminal performance refers to the regulation of the Indonesian Minister of Transportation No. 132 of 2015 on the operation of the road transport passenger terminals. The green concept of terminal buildings and facilities refers to the Green Building Council of Indonesia. The results showed that the variable of transportation service reliability, ticketing, and travel costs have the highest and lowest average scores based on user importance and satisfaction, respectively. The other variables include Security guarantee and freedom from criminal acts; Safety and health guarantee and freedom from accidents; Responsiveness of the terminal manager in providing services; Availability and capacity of supporting facilities; Architectural aesthetics within and outside the buildings; Ease of obtaining general travel information; Affordability and accessibility in and out of the terminal; The density of people and vehicles in the terminal area; Comfort, regularity, and cleanliness; and Application of environmentally friendly concepts on terminal and transportation facilities. Therefore, managers of the Jati Kudus terminal need to repair and improve their services according to these 12 variables. The implementation of the green concept can develop Jati Kudus terminal into a green terminal in Indonesia that serves as a node of sustainable and environmentally friendly public transportation.

 Resumen: El presente trabajo estudia la respuesta comunitaria a las prácticas empresariales que pretenden, mediante sociedades ficticias, eludir las normas de acceso al mercado con el objetivo de obtener ventajas competitivas, y que vienen siendo denominadas “empresas buzón”. En particular, se analizará cómo aborda esta cuestión la Directiva 2014/67/UE relativa a la garantía de cumplimiento de la Directiva 96/71/CE relativa al desplazamiento de trabajadores y el Reglamento (CE) n.º 1071/2009 sobre el acceso a la profesión de transportista por carretera; así como las propuestas normativas de la Comisión en el marco del “paquete de movilidad” en lo concerniente al requisito de establecimiento. En definitiva, se establecerán parámetros de eficacia de tales normas, sirviéndonos de las propuestas en el sector de carreteras como paradigma de análisis. Las distintas fórmulas utilizadas por las instituciones comunitarias para hacer frente a este tipo de prácticas — en el ámbito social, fiscal y sectorial— se des­cribirán críticamente; así como los pronunciamientos que en las últimas décadas han ofrecido criterios interpretativos para la identificación de tales “empresas buzón”.Palabras clave: dumping social, empresas buzón, libertades comunitarias, desplazamiento trasna­cional de trabajadores, evasión fiscal, paquete de movilidad, transporte por carretera.Abstract: This piece of research studies EU response to the practices that pretend, through ficti­tious societies, to elude the norms of access to the market with the objective of obtaining competitive ad­vantages, often called “letterbox companies”. In particular, case-law and regulations on the enforcement of Directive 96/71/EC concerning the posting of workers shall be analyzed under the light of normative proposals of the EU Commission in the framework of the “mobility package”. In short, parameters of effectiveness of such standards shall be established, taking proposals in the road sector as analytical paradigm. Different formulas used by the Community institutions, in social, tax and sectorial areas will be described critically; as well as ECJ rulings that in the last decades have offered interpretative criteria for the identification of such “letterbox companies”.Keywords: social dumping, letterbox companies, EU freedoms, posting of workers, tax elusion, mobility package, road transport.

The article examines the prerequisites for creating a transport hub in an urban environment, ways to simplify navigation and increase passenger comfort by design methods. The classification of transport hubs is given, the features of their formation based on environmental conditions are highlighted, the requirements for transport hub are formulated. Thus, the development of the system of transport hubs leads to a decrease in comfort when using public transport and stimulates the rejection of personal transport, which in turn leads to a decrease in the load on the road transport network and reduced air pollution.
