“…However, work by Jaramillo, Lizárraga, & Grindlay (2012) suggests that social exclusion is widely present in Latin America and aggravated by deficient public transport. It could be hypothesised that a large percentage of the population living in developing countries experience mobility-related social exclusion due to the size of the informal transport sector, a symptom of unfulfilled mobility needs (Stanley & Mulley, 2010). Brand and Davila (2011) note that the mobility of underprivileged people in developing societies, as expressed in their number of trips, is significantly constrained by low, irregular incomes.…”

Recent research has shown that increasing trip making and improving a person's social capital and sense of community is likely to reduce risks of social exclusion, and increase wellbeing. This, and most other related research on social exclusion, has been undertaken in countries with developed economies. This paper examines some of these relationships within a developing economy, where social exclusion is likely to be more widespread, using secondary data. It examines two districts in Medellín, Colombia, which are historically marginalised, with considerable poverty and also suffering from substantial drug-related violence. The focus is on the role of Metrocable, an aerial cable-car public transport system built to improve transport options in the area's steep terrain, in reducing risk of exclusion. The analysis shows that increasing the number of trips is significantly associated with a reduced risk of social exclusion and that increasing social capital is weakly supportive. Metrocable is therefore likely to be successful in reducing exclusion. The model suggests that secondary data can be used to explore relationships between mobility and risk of social exclusion.

“…Thredbo 11 moved the discussion from definitional and conceptual to more quantifiable issues. A key finding was that the benefits of building more inclusive transport systems extend beyond the targeted populations (Stanley and Mulley, 2010). This opened up the discussion towards consideration of the wider "goods" brought by public transport investment and operations, and how planning, project appraisal, contracting, and policy should respond -a theme that has been returned to in every subsequent conference.…”

This paper reports on topics discussed at workshop 6 of the Fifteenth Conference on Competition and Ownership in Land Passenger Transport (Thredbo 15), in Stockholm. The purpose of the workshop was to consider recent advances in identifying, understanding, and measuring the wider impacts of public transport, defined as those not typically included in assessments of direct user and system costs and benefits. While not all impacts are as yet well understood, progress is being made both conceptually and methodologically. A promising methodological convergence is apparent between disciplines dealing with different aspects of the social value of transport-for instance psychology and geography-and between different possibly overlapping definitions of wider impacts-such as accessibility, option value, and agglomeration benefits. The workshop also delved more deeply into the role of Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA) and wider impact assessment in decision making. Case studies show that CBA does not inform decisions around project implementation as deeply as it might, and that assessments of wider benefits may open up space for manipulation of outcomes by vested interests. The workshop concluded that more work is needed on appraisal frameworks that are sufficiently transparent and rigorous to avoid abuse, and called for more case studies on the interaction between impact assessment and the political economy of institutions and decision makers.
