For this, a mixed methodological approach was applied: descriptive scope and nonexperimental design, where through qualitative and quantitative surveys that were applied to different groups, important actors in the transportation system. Through the results it was evidenced the lack of effective regulation, disorder of routes, excessive use of private vehicles as direct causes of the congestion and lack of training of the drivers.
