Resumen
El presente estudio analiza la eficiencia del sistema de transporte urbano en Barranquilla, identificando sus avances y las limitaciones actuales que afectan la movilidad sostenible de la ciudad. A pesar de la implementación del (SITM) Transmetro, que ha mejorado la conectividad en zonas centrales, persisten problemas relacionados con la cobertura insuficiente, la congestión, la frecuencia irregular de los servicios y la falta de integración con otros modos de transporte como bicicletas y taxis. El análisis destaca que los tiempos de espera prolongados, especialmente en horas pico, afectan negativamente la satisfacción del usuario y fomentan el uso del transporte informal y vehículos privados, aumentando la congestión y la contaminación ambiental.
Comparado con referentes internacionales como Curitiba, Medellín y Copenhague, el sistema de Barranquilla presenta oportunidades significativas de mejora. Se resalta la importancia de implementar tecnología para la gestión de flotas y la adopción de movilidad activa, mediante la ampliación de ciclovías y la promoción del uso de bicicletas. Además, se requiere una mayor inversión en infraestructura vial y en estrategias que prioricen la intermodalidad y la sostenibilidad. Este análisis sugiere que la transformación del sistema de transporte en Barranquilla debe centrarse en la eficiencia operativa, la equidad social y la reducción del impacto ambiental. La aplicación de buenas prácticas internacionales y el uso de herramientas tecnológicas contribuirán a optimizar el servicio y mejorar la calidad de vida de los ciudadanos.
This study analyzes the efficiency of the urban transport system in Barranquilla, identifying its advances and current limitations that affect sustainable mobility in the city. Despite the implementation of the Transmetro (SITM), which has improved connectivity in central areas, problems related to insufficient coverage remain, congestion, irregular frequency of services and lack of integration with other modes of transport such as bicycles and taxis. The analysis highlights that long waiting times, especially at peak hours, negatively affect user satisfaction and encourage the use of informal transport and private vehicles, increasing congestion and environmental pollution. Compared to international benchmarks such as Curitiba, Medellín and Copenhagen, the Barranquilla system presents significant opportunities for improvement. The importance of implementing technology for fleet management and the adoption of active mobility is highlighted, through the extension of cycle paths and the promotion of bicycle use. In addition, greater investment is required in road infrastructure and strategies that prioritize intermodality and sustainability. This analysis suggests that the transformation of the transportation system in Barranquilla should focus on operational efficiency, social equity and reduction of environmental impact. The application of international good practice and the use of technological tools will help to optimise service and improve citizens' quality of life.
