Background
1. Private car ownership has increased.
2. The transportation sector has not
changed old practices toward an user-
oriented service
3. Bus drivers do not always stop at
defined bus stops. They partially held a
monopoly thinking the routes are
personal property
4. Bus operators compete for profitable
routes
5. Bus drivers put in risk citizens lives while
speeding up to take up more
passengers.
6. In Quito many of the traffic accidents are
caused by bus drivers.

Quito has grown, transportation
has become perhaps its number
one problem. We have launched
an ambitious program of public
transportation that includes the
construction of the Metro.
The new metro is expected to be
operational by 2017.

Purpose
- Provide a passenger-oriented service.
- Ensure drivers service and passenger
safety.
- Decrease the number of traffic
accidents caused by bus operators.
- Provide accurate information for policy
and decision makers (reliable
information sources for future
improvements/planning).

Current Status and Issues
![Page 9: [e-Government Program Action Plan : Quito, Ecuador]](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052621/5584074ed8b42a79268b4e27/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Implemented Strategies
The Integrate System includes:
1.Trolebus (three electric bus routes)
with an exclusive lane.
2. Some bus Lines "Feeders“ (but
most of the bus lines are still private).
3.Terminals and stops transfer of
backbone with prepaid system.
4.Centralized traffic light system.

Challenges and Obstacles
• Passengers' dissatisfaction with the service quality.
• Bus operator’s overheated competition for profitable routes.
• Bus services not completely integrated within the transport
network.
• Buses and Trolebus getting more and more crowded.
• Buses do not have an preferential line contributing to the traffic
congestion which is a major problem in our capital.
• Limited access to outlying districts.
• Resistance from private operators.
• Lack of funding for public works transportation.
•There is no a unified distance-based face pricing system.

How it can be done?
All at once not incremental Networking the municipal government, bus
operators, civil society and experts .
Target?
BUS REFORM
CITIZEN COMMITTEE
Semi-public operation (private don’t have to compete)
Reorganizing bus routes to reach rural and isolated
neighborhoods
Bus management System
Traffic Control System
Smart card

Specific Action Plan
![Page 16: [e-Government Program Action Plan : Quito, Ecuador]](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022052621/5584074ed8b42a79268b4e27/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Action plan
1. Define operational zones and bus companies/operators.
• Type of company and size.
• Bidding process for most profitable routes.
• Issuance of operating licenses.
2. Implementation of a dedicated bus lane system.
3. Establish an integrated transportation system.
(Trolley/Articulated bus + Metro + Common type of buses)
4. Apply a unified fare system based on distance. (use of
transport cards while discontinuing the use of cash).
• Provide discount rate for students, disable and elders.
5. Reach an agreement between actors for system’s operation
and management.
• Assessment of revenues and subsidies.
• Establishment of a committee for joint revenue
management.

Good initiatives to consider
1. No driving day program
• Tax incentives. Gas price. Insurance incentives.
2. Implementation of cameras on buses to identify plates of
illegally parked vehicles impeding traffic flow.
3. Consolidation of databases and information sharing
between government institutions (avoid unnecessary costs
and redundant data systems).
