    Activity 12 Coherence and Cohesion

    This document discusses making public transportation free in Colombia. It notes that some cities, like Luxembourg and Barcelona, offer free public transit. However, they may limit it to residents, children, or the elderly. Free transit could reduce traffic and pollution if more people use it instead of driving. For Colombia, public transit would need to be subsidized by taxes to be sustainable. Restrictions may be needed to avoid overcrowding the system since more people may use it if it's free. One solution proposed is allowing all citizens to use transit but with daily trip limits to prevent abuse of the system. Identification cards and fees for additional trips could help control the system. Studies, education, and identifying funding sources would be needed first

    FREE PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION

    Public transportation should be free here in Colombia as it is in Luxembourg and

    Barcelona, since March 1, 2020 all buses and trains in Luxembourg can be boarded without

    paying a fee, it is not a world novelty, around a hundred cities that have some type of free

    public transport but only in some areas or with some restrictions such as; Only residents could

    make free use of this service, in addition to the elderly and children. These initiatives

    promote the use of public transport so that people use their cars less to reduce vehicle

    congestion and pollution, helping to improve carbon emission levels, helping to control global

    warming.

    In Colombia, public transportation must be free in the future, but measures must be

    implemented so that it is financed and subsidized by taxes and therefore is sustainable. In

    addition, it would have to have some type of restriction to avoid saturating the system,

    because at the Transportation is free, more people will choose to move simply because it is

    free, generating useless mobility.

    The solution to the inappropriate use of free public transport is to allow the use of all

    citizens but with daily travel limits, so that they do not abuse the system, implementing a type

    of personal card such as those that already exist, so that when free trips are over the user can

    return to use the transport paid a minimum fee and thus be able to try to control the entire

    system, a security system could also be implemented that prevents people who have already

    used their free trips from entering without contributing to the system.

    Public transport must be free but the government must first do feasibility studies, work on

    citizen education and seek a source of funding that makes this dream possible.
