Abstract
In order to encourage people to use alternative transport solutions while reducing the disproportional use of cars, studies that could provide relevant information to stakeholders and policymakers are required. This is due to the excessive use of cars and its negative externalities, such as traffic congestion and the production of high levels of carbon dioxide (CO2). Therefore, one strategy is to improve public transport by providing a fair level of access to it for the people to encourage them to have a multimodal behavior regarding transport. This thesis proposes a methodology to assess public transportation accessibility inequity of land parcels served by transit systems in metropolitan areas.
The methodology is based on the classic analysis tools of Lorenz curves and Gini indices, but the novelty resides in the fact that it can be easily applied in an automated way to several cities around the world, with no need for customized data treatment
