Abstract

“A developed country is not a place where the poor people have cars but it is where the rich people use public transport” (Mayor of Bogota). Development of sustainable urban mobility and public transport networks leads by all means to radical improvement of citizens’ quality of life. It improves access to markets and job opportunities, to education, to health care services, to leisure, to the things citizens need in everyday life. Citizens that use public transport walk more. Walking increases fitness levels, leading to healthier citizens and less strain on the health care systems. Quality of life is also affected by commuting times. In several cities commuters often travel more than an hour to and from work. This is time lost in their life.
