Abstract

Los problemas en el sector del transporte público urbano, centrados en la búsqueda de una progresiva mejora en las condiciones técnicas, medioambientales y de calidad del servicio, combinada con una mejora en la eficiencia de sus recursos económicos, hacen que sea necesario diseñar, entre otras cuestiones, un sistema de financiación pública trasparente acorde a las actuales circunstancias económicas de nuestro país. Estos hechos han propiciado el interés e inquietud general en mejorar el conocimiento de la estructura y evolución económica y financiera de las empresas de este sector. Esta circunstancia favoreció la creación, en 2010, del Observatorio de Costes y Financiación del Transporte Urbano Colectivo (Observatorio TUC) que ofrece información de las condiciones de explotación y financiación de las concesionarias de transporte urbano colectivo en superficie en España, a través de la generación de medidas representativas de patrones de comportamiento en costes y financiación. A partir de los resultados de las medidas representativas del Primer Informe del Observatorio TUC (2008-2009), en este trabajo se realiza un estudio descriptivo de la estructura económico-financiera de las empresas, para identificar los factores explicativos de la problemática actual de la financiación del servicio de transporte público urbano en España. / The sensitivity in the public urban transport sector, focusing on a progressive improvement in the economic and technical management of passenger services and the need to design a transparent public finance system and according to the current economic circumstances, has led to increased interest and concern to improve the knowledge of its structure and evolution. This has encouraged the emergence of the conditions for the adoption of the initiative of the institutions that have promoted the creation of the Costs and Funding of Collective Urban Transport Watchdog (TUC Watchdog). The TUC Centre’s objectives focus on the study of the operating conditions and financing of surface urban public transport concessions in Spain, through the generation of representative measures of behavior patterns, in order to enhance the real knowledge of the sector. In this paper, we present a study of the current problems in the financing of urban public transport in Spain, from the work carried out for the first report of the TUC (2008-2009).
