Mobility Development through Public Transportation, the Case of Mexico City. American Journal of Civil Engineering. Vol. 2, No. 3, 2014, pp. 87-90. doi: 10.11648/j.ajce.20140203.14 Abstract: In this paper we intend to take the most useful elements of transporting goods and people in order to analyze, diagnose and optimize them, it aims to provide elements of analysis on the info we have identified as priorities diagnosis, the relationship shows direct correlation between population density and the number of trips taken by its inhabitants and consumer products, in addition to deviations due to the characteristics of such areas, many variables are taken to try to diagnose the way they are doing the main, as well as the diagnosis, this analysis is crucial in the design of a reorganization strategy that gives priority of transportation.

Introduction Cities that have a population ranging 1 and 2 million people will experience the highest growth in the next 20 years. Trend turns already visible declining growth rates megacities and growing cities that approximate million. But these cities are often in developing countries, i.e. in less urban systems provided quality public transport. There is a strong relationship between mobility and income. Creating wealth means that people and goods can move easily and quickly. The relationship between the number of daily trips per capita income and is highly significant: despite revealing counterexamples but minority, the countries with the strongest mobility have the highest GDP per capita. However, although the relationship between mobility and development is strong, it does not imply a transportation extension and above all individual means of transport, supports the growth of developed countries. The model -based development urban sprawl, spatial specialization and its corollary, increased transport times, leads to additional costs and "des economy" that generates congestion, health problems due to pollution, the stress, impacts environmental, lost man hours and delays in delivery of the goods transported, the consequences result in a financial, social and human cost that is always paid by someone: the city dweller, the company, the employee or the community. This led to imagine another model sustainable city that involves a reorientation of urban transport options where looms. We have studied the main features of Mexico City as growth, economic and demographic conditions, mobility and degree of motorization, with intent to identify not only the environment in which transport companies operate, but also the relationship between transport and urban development [1]. If really want to avoid anarchic growth in cities, should make a greater effort in investigating the specific effects that the changes in the transport system or at least the new infrastructure (second floor, etc. backbones) and services [2]. Displacements in urban areas are secured by a combination of modes, which vary depending on the context. These modes form a system and that system is exactly a whole which should be considered when defining effective mobility policies. 2. Theoretical Foundations Within systems increasing attention is accentuated by the international community to sustainable mobility schemes, where public transport and non- motorized transport should play a major role, although keeping a complementary role for the automobile. The observation made in various
