MONCADA ARISTIZABAL, Carlos Alberto  and  BURBANO VALENTE, Johanna. Company structure model for public collective transport. Univ. Psychol. [online]. 2005, vol.4, n.3, pp.325-337. ISSN 1657-9267.

The operation scheme of the collective public transport in Bogotá (Colombia) has not suffered a big transformation in its general structure during the last seventy years. It is well known that the companies of collective public transport for passengers operated by buses has not worked like managers of the vehicles, rather they worked like companies for vehicles affiliation. The operation base for the companies in the model of affiliation (as the Bogotá case), is the same for all the cities with public transport around Colombia: there are owners and drivers of the vehicles in charge of the maintenance, control and service offers. This document presents a formulation of a theoretical model of company structure, remarked in the particular policies and operating conditions that transformed the service of public transport since 2003 in Bogotá city. The model involves the operative, organizational and financial aspects, looking forward for a new collective public transport company which manage the vehicles fleet in an efficient way and for a better service to the users.
