Metrobus receives increasing popular support, study concludes
Published on Jul 26 2005

The first market research study has been completed regarding citizens’ attitudes towards the Metrobus in Mexico City. The study executed by Consulta Mitofsky, a market research firm in Mexico City, concludes that 62% of metro passengers and 60% of bus passengers are in favor of the bus rapid transit system, mostly due to the reduced commute-time, reduced traffic, and greater options for public transport. Additionally, 30% of the general public benefits from the Metrobus while 18% are negatively affected. The later group consists mostly of auto owners (both taxi and private vehicle owners) who dislike the increased congestion in the auto vehicle lanes.
