Abstract: RESUMEN: Actualmente, las grandes áreas urbanas no son viables sin la existencia de un transporte público adecuado. Este trabajo caracteriza el transporte público urbano de autobuses de la ciudad de Málaga tomando como referencias otras áreas metropolitanas españolas como Madrid o Barcelona. Se analiza el marco general en el que se desarrolla, atendiendo a su regulación, organización y financiación. Se presenta un análisis comparativo de la movilidad urbana de áreas metropolitanas españolas y sus ciudades principales. Finalmente, se estudia la oferta de transporte, desde la perspectiva de los aspectos generales del servicio, y en particular, desde la calidad del servicio.ABSTRACT:Currently, the role of public transport is undeniable: large urban areas are not viable unless suitable public transport is available. This paper characterizes the urban public bus network in Malaga City and compares it to other Spanish metropolitan areas, such as Madrid and Barcelona. We analyze the legislation, regulation, organization and funding of the sector. A comparative analysis of urban mobility in Spanish metropolitan areas and major cities is also presented. Finally, we describe public transport supply from the point of view of overall service and service quality in particular.
