One of the main measures in the fight against COVID 19 has been the immobilization of people to prevent the spread of the virus, which, logically, affects public transport in Latin America as it is the main means of transportation in the cities.

To a greater or lesser extent, this means of mobility is being altered in different aspects (number of trips, protocols for its use, etc.) generating economic, social and environmental consequences. In turn, this situation also opens the space for the transformation to a sustainable mobility in cities, under the concepts: avoid, change and improve.

Join us in this sixth issue of our EKLA Series Climate Change in Times of Coronavirus and thanks to Heloisa Schneider, International Consultant, analyzing the situation of public transport in the region and proposing some ideas towards sustainability to put them in the debate and action for the future.

Read and think about it.
