| Abstract | The quality of life in Latin American cities is negatively affected by inefficient public transport systems, low levels of mobility and an increased use of cars. The hours lost in traffic, environmental and noise pollution are just some of the negative effects of inefficient public transport systems that call for more efficient and effective transport systems. Searching for a solution, various cities in the region have started with initiatives to improve efficiency through a better integration of public transport services. Yet they are encountering a series of challenges including the lack of long-term strategies, financial resources, resistance of transport operators, limited application of information and communication technologies (ICT) and a limited use of bank accounts among users. This research seeks to derive lessons to overcome these challenges from the experiences of smart cities with advanced public transport systems including Singapore, Hong Kong, Stockholm, Munich and San Francisco. These cities have demonstrated that successful mobility and integration strategies depend on different strategies including the preparation and continuous monitoring of long-term plans, new public procurement processes for the development of the transport infrastructure and exploitation of public transport services and additional taxation modalities. The research demonstrates that cities in Latin America need to adopt a combination of these strategies to overcome key public transport challenges and to achieve more effective integration of public transport services and high levels of mobility in the region. © 2020 ACM. |
