Análise das alternativas de transporte disponíveis para acesso terrestre ao aeroporto Santa Genoveva em Goiânia - GO

Abstract

The variety of ground access modes available at airports has been a key factor in determining the conditions of accessibility to airports. Several airports in Brazil offer alternatives for public transport and private vehicle to facilitate access to the airport, such as: subway, bus, private vehicle, bicycles, taxi, etc. The travel time of the airport user can be directly affected due to congestion and lack of access options for public transport. Santa Genoveva Airport, the location chosen for the case study, has three options for access: the private vehicle, taxi and a public bus line. Thus, the objective of the present study was to determine how transport alternatives are available and to verify what is the perception of users regarding the forms of access. To achieve this goal, 150 questionnaires were obtained from passengers and airport employees. The subjects questioned were as to the characteristics of travel, characteristics of airplane travel and criteria considered important for users when traveling to the airport. The collected data were treated by descriptive statistics and the various factors taken into account were taken together. It was found that transport by ride-hailing service was the most used mode for commuting corresponding to 32% of the sample, in which 58% of respondents reported an average commuting of up to 30 minutes. Among the criteria considered important for users when traveling to the airport, the speed to travel stood out, being scored by 30% of those surveyed. In addition, users are not considered favorable in terms of the migration from private transport to public transport, corresponding to the percentage of 77% of people.
