Abstract

Currently, about 53% of the world's population lives in urbanized areas. Therefore, the great cities of the world must assure their inhabitants a sustainable and efficient transport system. In Lima, public transportation is the main mode of transportation for 66% of the people. However, this transport system is one of the main sources of infection for COVID - 19. For this reason, the capacity of public transport has been reduced, generating long queues at bus stops and delays in people's travel time. Faced with this problem, an alternative for personal transport such as bicycles is proposed to reduce people's travel time. This research proposes a comparative analysis of travel time in the study area between people who use public transport and the proposed bicycle path. For it, data is collected and modes of transport in a residential and commercial area are compared using a calibrated and validated microsimulation in VISSIM 9. The results show that during peak hours in the study area, the total average travel time for the public transport route is 40 minutes and for the conventional and electric bicycle on the proposed bicycle path it is 19 and 13 minutes respectively.
