Resumo: | In recent years there has been a surge of interest in the relation between transport and equity. While transport expenditure plays a pivotal role in promoting equity within public transport systems, out-of-pocket user costs are often overlooked. Making transport affordable is one of the foremost challenges, especially in the Global South, where inequality levels are high. The primary objective of this research was to determine who was most affected by high public transport fares and to assess the resulting implications for equity in Rio de Janeiro. This study uses survey data collected from public transport users in 2023 to assess real transport expenditures and incomes to provide a complex description of fare affordability in the city. By considering both perceived affordability and a calculated affordability metric, we use statistical analysis to identify which groups were most likely to be adversely impacted by the existing fare policies. We then evaluated these groups’ accompanying perceptions of public transport. Finally, a Pseudo Palma ratio was used to measure the equity of fare costs across those who could and could not afford their transport. Our findings revealed that income, gender, transport expenditure, trip time and trip purpose were the main factors that distinguish those who could or could not afford their daily transport needs. We find that the relation between fare policies and transport equity depends on a complex interaction between fare costs, sociodemographic characteristics, perceptions, and spatial organization.Pseudo Palma ratio was used to measure the equity of fare costs across those who could and could not afford their transport.

THE BURDEN OF HIGH FARE PRICES ON URBAN INEQUALITY:EL PESO DE LAS TARIFAS ELEVADAS EN LA DESIGUALDAD URBANA:O PESO DOS ALTOS PREÇOS DAS TARIFAS NA DESIGUALDADE URBANA:Artigos In recent years there has been a surge of interest in the relation between transport and equity.

Aunque el gasto en transporte desempeña un papel fundamental a la hora de promover la equidad en los sistemas de transporte público, a menudo se pasan por alto los costes de bolsillo de los usuarios. Conseguir que el transporte sea asequible es uno de los principales retos, especialmente en el Sur Global, donde los niveles de desigualdad son elevados. El objetivo principal de este estudio era determinar quién se veía más afectado por las elevadas tarifas del transporte público y evaluar las implicaciones resultantes para la equidad en Río de Janeiro. Este estudio utiliza datos de encuestas realizadas a usuarios del transporte público en 2023 para evaluar los gastos reales en transporte y los ingresos con el fin de proporcionar una descripción compleja de la asequibilidad de las tarifas en la ciudad. Teniendo en cuenta tanto la asequibilidad percibida como una métrica de asequibilidad calculada, utilizamos el análisis estadístico para identificar qué grupos tenían más probabilidades de verse perjudicados por las políticas tarifarias vigentes. A continuación, evaluamos las percepciones del transporte público que acompañaban a estos grupos. Por último, se utilizó un coeficiente Pseudo Palma para medir la equidad del coste de las tarifas entre los que podían y los que no podían permitirse el transporte. Nuestros resultados revelaron que los ingresos, el sexo, el gasto en transporte, la duración del viaje y el motivo del viaje eran los principales factores que distinguían a los que podían y a los que no podían permitirse sus necesidades diarias de transporte. La relación entre las políticas tarifarias y la equidad en el transporte depende de una compleja interacción entre el coste de las tarifas, las características sociodemográficas, las percepciones y la organización espacial.Nos últimos anos houve um aumento do interesse na relação entre transporte e equidade. Embora os gastos com transporte desempenhem um papel fundamental na promoção da equidade nos sistemas de transporte público, os custos diretos do usuário são muitas vezes ignorados. Tornar o transporte acessível é um dos principais desafios, especialmente no Sul Global, onde os níveis de desigualdade são altos. O principal objetivo deste estudo foi determinar quem foi mais afetado pelas altas tarifas de transporte público e avaliar as implicações resultantes para a equidade no Rio de Janeiro. Este estudo usa dados de pesquisa recolhidos dos utilizadores de transporte público em 2023 para avaliar os gastos reais com transporte e o rendimento, a fim de fornecer uma descrição complexa da acessibilidade às tarifas na cidade. Ao considerar a percepção de acessibilidade económica e calcular uma métrica de acessibilidade económica, usámos a análise estatística para identificar quais os grupos mais adversamente impactados pelas políticas tarifárias existentes. De seguida, avaliamos as percepções destes grupos sobre o transporte público. Por fim, foi usado um índice Pseudo Palma para medir a equidade dos custos da tarifa entre aqueles que podiam ou não podiam pagar pelo transporte. Os resultados revelaram que o rendimento, o género, os gastos com transporte, o tempo de deslocação e a finalidade da viagem foram os principais fatores que distinguiram aqueles que podiam e os que não podiam pagar as suas necessidades diárias de transporte. Descobrimos que a relação entre as políticas tarifárias e a equidade no transporte depende de uma interação complexa entre os custos tarifários, as características sociodemográficas, as percepções e a organização espacial.Centro de Estudos Geográficos2024-01-12info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttps://doi.org/10.18055/Finis33407eng2182-29050430-5027Silver, KelliQueirós, Margaridainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2024-01-18T09:40:42Zoai:ojs.revistas.rcaap.pt:article/33407Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-20T00:56:35.784664Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
