Congestion in Latin American Cities: Innovative Approaches for a Critical Issue Discussion Paper
2020
Overview
High population growth rates, vast urban expansion, commuting from neighbouring municipalities, rapid growth in the mode share of individual transport modes vis-a-vis public transport and, more recently, the success of vehicle on-demand apps, have all contributed to major increases in daily vehicle kilometres (vkm) travelled in Latin American cities. Economic growth and private car ownership There is a strong relationship between the rate of car ownership and the per capita income of the population. [...]most trips were made by public transport, with a large proportion of users having limited modal choice. Various studies show that growth in car ownership follows a Gompertz equation, in the form of an S curve: at low income levels, car ownership will be low; the per capita income of the population subsequently increases to a point at which the majority of the population will be able to buy a vehicle, generating strong growth in the motorisation rate.
