Terminal de transporte multimodal

Abstract

Bogotá, la capital colombiana, es conocida por su pluriculturalidad debido a que recibe una gran cantidad de personas anualmente por ser el principal centro económico, político, cultural y educativo del país, que cuenta según el Dane con una población de 7’200.000 habitantes en el 2018 y se estima que para el 2032 llegará a 8’374.333 (Gómez, 2019: párrafo 1). Debido al crecimiento de la ciudad las relaciones con los municipios aleñados se han incrementado, una de las principales vías de entrada y salida de la cuidad es la autopista norte y como consecuencia de esto se plantea una terminal de transporte multimodal en el norte de Bogotá que permita una conexión ciudad-región, debido a la oferta ineficiente y la desconexión actual existente entre los medios de transporte en Bogotá, Chía, Zipaquirá y otros municipios. Por lo mencionado anteriormente, se busca favorecer a la población flotante que a diario se moviliza desde la capital y la periferia norte, quienes generan en promedio 2.2 millones de viajes diarios aproximadamente, mediante el diseño de un volumen arquitectónico de una terminal de transporte que permita mejorar y conectar la infraestructura de transporte existente y planteadas. Se considera que el concepto de multimodalidad permitirá una mejor conectividad entre los medios de transporte urbano, sub urbano, interurbano y complementario, permitiendo una eficiente prestación del servicio de transporte público. Se busca implementar los diferentes medios de transporte propuestos por la Alcaldía, con el fin de garantizar una infraestructura más eficaz al momento de realizar transbordos, conexiones y desplazamientos de corta, media o larga distancia. Se espera que con este conjunto de estrategias y conceptos se logre brindar un servicio eficiente para todos los habitantes de la Sabana Norte de Bogotá.

Bogotá, Colombian capital is known for its multiculturalism, as the result of receiving annually a high amount of people from around the world for being the economic, politic, cultural and educative capital of the country. According to the DANE, Bogotá has a population of 7´200´000 habitants in the year of the 2018, and its estimated that for 2032 it would grow up to the number of 8 ´374.333 (Gomez, 2019). As a result of the growing of the city the relation with surrounding municipalities has made the option, to invest on principal highways that connect the city with its surroundings. One of the most important roads that connect the city with the other municipalities, is the north highway, as a consequence of this matter and to improve the efficiency, theres a proposal to imply a transport terminal at the north exit of the city. This measure has been implied because there is a lack of efficiency to connect the city with the nearest regions, having as first examples of this problem, the connections between Bogotá and Chía, Zipaquira, and other municipalities. As mentioned before, there is a search to favor the population that lives out side of the city and has to work in it. This population diary has to mobilized all the way in and out of the city, generating an average of 2.2 million journeys approximately. This condition it would be relieve implementing an architectural volume of a terminal transport system. A concept to imply this idea, is the multimodal architecture of a transport terminal that would integrate the connectivity between the urban, intermunicipal and complementary public system, improving the efficiency to switch between public transport systems. As conclusion, the idea is to integrate the different medias of public transportation proposed by the city town hall, with the propose to guarantee a more efficient public transport system at the moment of switching between connections of long and short distances. We hope that with this strategies and ideas, it would be possible to achieve a better and more efficient service for all the habitants that lives at the north savannah out side of Bogotá.
