This lecture discusses the transformation of transport behavior in Santiago de Chile following the introduction of a new public transport system in 2007. The instructor analyzes the impact of the new system on the city's residents, highlighting the challenges faced during the transition period and the long-lasting effects on mobility patterns. The lecture also explores the social implications of the changes, such as increased car usage among certain income groups and the importance of public transport for societal participation. Additionally, the speaker emphasizes the need for a smooth transition when implementing new transport systems and the necessity of addressing both public transport infrastructure and attitudes towards car usage to create a more sustainable urban transport environment.
