Daily Transportation Among the Inhabitants of the Monterrey Metropolitan Zone

Abstract

The two aims of this article are to identify patterns of daily geographical mobility among the people who live in the Monterrey Metropolitan Zone (mmz) and, more particularly, from the perspective of urban segregation, to analyze if the population has an unequal geographical access to the city, a differentiated articulation in terms of geographical distance, transportation time and mobility rate, according to the income level of the inhabitants. The basic material used to carry out this work was a data base on metropolitan transportation, collected through the 1991 Encuesta Origen y Destino (Departure and Destina- tion Survey) for the MMZ.
