The present work sought to analyze the evolution of the number of users of the public transport system in Bauru city over the period from 2008 to 2018. Knowing how the use of public transport is going is of fundamental importance for the development of public policies in terms of what it says, respect to mobility, social inclusion, urban planning, reduction of environmental damage, among others. For this, the Index of Passengers per Kilometer (IPK) was used, which reflects the use of public transport, and the Index of Equivalent Passengers per Kilometer (IPKe). The calculation of the IPK and the IPKe values ​​was performed based on data provided by the Municipal Urban and Rural Development Company of Bauru (EMDURB), which coordinates the city's transit and transport system. The data used were the Tariff Evolution, Passenger Evolution, and Mileage covered by the system. With the values ​​of IPK and IPKe calculated monthly during the analyzed period, it was concluded that the use of public transport in the city of Bauru follows the national trend, presenting a period of stagnation in the public transport system. Although the values ​​found are within the expected range for the size of the municipality (being consistent with the national average), the low IPK and IPKe values ​​indicate a lower use of the system. The IPKe is an index that directly reflects on the calculation of the tariff, so when this index drops, the tariff tends to increase, and this can drive even more users away from the system.
