Motivated by checking how efficient is the bicycle as transportation, the group of five cyclists bitter Up 'and The Chancha, held on March 15, 2011 the IV measurement of transport efficiency, a model that mimics its like in other European cities and whose three previous releases in Santiago has been made between 2008 and 2011.
Measurement was to calculate the delay time, when more congestion, between a point located in Providencia and one in Providence. This, in five different modes of transport. Thus, at 8 o'clock on a weekday, take the time it takes for a person by car, bicycle, subway, bus and motorcycle Transantiago, between Avenida Ossa N ยบ 1000 (almost Echenique) and Santa Beatriz 319, where the Operational Unit Traffic Control (UOCT).
By the way, that was seven miles, five people took the time with a stopwatch, which was still running at stoplights. The transfer of cycling between one point and another was made in the streets and not bikeways.
The time taken was executed on 15 March and published the results came the same day the group's blog. It was the bike took the least among the five means of transportation, with 20 minutes and 40 seconds. However, the researchers assessed the bicycle as the most efficient (22 minutes and 29 seconds), because during the four years it has been doing the study, it has been what has kept more equal time.
Considering the transhipment, the Metro was delayed 35 minutes and 29 seconds, the combination of subway and bicycle, 47 minutes, the car, 56 minutes and 20 seconds, and the Transantiago bus, one hour 11 minutes and nine seconds.
Another favorable aspect to consider regarding the bike is no operating cost. "The minute that is still taking a bicycle from one point to another are smooth since 2008. Not so the motor vehicles, which have grown explosively since then," said Claudio Olivares Medina, director of Up 'and the pig.
