By employing spatial analysis and socioeconomic data, the research evaluates the distribution of public transport services and their accessibility to disadvantaged communities. The findings reveal significant disparities in service delivery and propose actionable strategies to enhance inclusivity and accessibility. The paper underscores the importance of equitable transport solutions in promoting social justice and urban development. Recommendations include policy interventions and investment priorities for ensuring fair access to public transport. Bogotá’s approach is analyzed as a potential model for reshaping urban transport equity globally.
