Mauricio Rodas destruyó el sistema de bicicletas públicas en Quito y en esta administración no se ha hecho nada para recuperarlo. Más de 500 bicis desaparecieron, otras que compraron a casi $3000 nunca se usaron.

Por qué se debe aumentar los carriles exclusivos de buses?
En una calle en LA en 17 segundos se mueve la siguiente cantidad de personas:
Carril exclusivo BRT: 210 personas
Carril vehículos: 7 personas
Así que TU desde tu comfort eres el tráfico.
