Since a couple of years ago public transportation systems are facing a crisis, as a result of a fall in the quality of the service, as well as a degradation or reduction of the fleet. As a consequence, some cities face serious problems because demand exceeds the capacity of such systems. One of the main obstacles to address this problem is the lack of information on mobility patterns of residents. Thus, the aim is to quantify the volume of travel and derive the demand for public transportation in Ciudad Obregon, Sonora, to provide basic data for its planning and provision. The methodology employs a Geographic Information System (GIS), with secondary information in order to determine mobility needs based on family, its daily activities and accessibility to modes of public and private transportation.

Palabras llave : modes of transportation; public transportation; public transportation supply; public transportation demand; public transportation provision; accessibility to public transportation.
