Abstract

 El presente trabajo de investigación tiene como objetivo cuantificar la reducción en los tiempos de viaje que ofrece la Línea 1 del Metro de Lima y Callao frente a otros medios de transporte, como el bus y el taxi. Para ello, se utilizaron datos de tiempos de viaje obtenidos mediante técnicas automatizadas de web scraping a partir de Google Maps. Los resultados muestran que, en las rutas de mayor demanda, la Línea 1 permite un ahorro promedio de 29,0 minutos frente al bus durante las mañanas (6:00 a 11:00 horas) y de 21,5 minutos en las tardes (16:00 a 20:00 horas). Respecto al taxi, el ahorro es de 3,7 minutos en la mañana, mientras que en la tarde el taxi resulta, en la mayoría de rutas, más rápido. Este comportamiento se debe, principalmente, a los mayores tiempos de espera en cola reportados por los usuarios de la Línea 1 en horas punta de la noche. A partir de ello, se calcula el valor social del tiempo para cuantificar el ahorro económico de emplear la Línea 1, encontrando que, por cada millón de viajes este ahorro oscila entre S/ 2,90 millones y S/ 21,49 millones en la mañana y entre S/ 2,15 millones y S/ 15,91 millones en la tarde. Entre las rutas de mayor impacto económico destaca la que va desde la estación Villa El Salvador hasta la estación Gamarra, con un ahorro de hasta S/ 31,1 por viaje en la mañana, y la que va desde la estación Miguel Grau hasta la estación Villa El Salvador, con un ahorro de hasta S/ 28,6 por viaje en la tarde. Finalmente, se discuten otros beneficios de la Línea 1, además de las dificultades que enfrenta, como los elevados tiempos de espera en rutas de alta frecuencia, que en ocasiones igualan o superan el tiempo efectivo de viaje.
