The social and economic future of a city depends
primarily on the efficiency of its transport system; this
is measured by the ability to move people and goods
in a sustainable manner, with the available resources.
Nowadays, Mass Transit systems are being developed
in seven different cities of Colombia, which have created
the need to track the progression and growth of their
participation in the one-person travel demand. The
purpose of this work is to describe the development of
a mass transit system, and to provide an overview of the
impact that the operating parameters and reinvestment
have on the development and expansion of the demand
of the system itself. Three scenarios are proposed to
evaluate different operational and reinvestment policies,
analyzing the behavior in the development of the
system.
