چکیده
This paper assesses the effects on urban freight transportation of implementing Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) systems. BRT systems have been widely implemented in Latin American cities recent decades, with positive results driven by their high capacity and relatively low cost. Implementing strategic corridors has led to changes land use, required some restrictions other traffic, particularly freight. These significantly affected supply goods establishments along those corridors, restricting operations traffic general. studies overall system implementation using Cali (Colombia) as a representative case study understand origin size these impacts. Six key criteria were analyzed assess impacts system: 1. Mobility patterns; 2. environmental impacts; 3. infrastructure; 4. land-use; 5. legislation; 6. geographic distribution. Observations semi-structured interviews used complement hard data. The from show that areas surrounding generate more than 62% traffic. concentration activity exacerbated negative accompanied altered mobility land-use patterns, not only locally but within city centre, well suburban areas. In summary, post implementation, significant share freight-related externalities amplified transferred parts inter-regional well.
