The population growth in cities pushes to seek solutions for the mobility of people, one of
the most efficient but at the same time more expensive solution is a rapid transport system,
commonly known as metro systems. In last 50 years, Latin America has seen how many of
its cities have grown to have populations of several million inhabitants and therefore they
have considered the development of a first metro line or if they already had existing lines,
expand the metro network. This study seeks to understand the planning and development
models of metros in Latin America and analyze the traits of these systems, compared to
metros in other regions of the world. The conclusions of this study will not only be useful
for local planners, but also for development banks and other international organizations in a
way that they can understand and adapt their processes to local conditions. The research
uses statistical information from benchmarking groups of metro systems throughout the
world, as well as information presented in annual reports of companies operating metro
systems. Academic documents are also used, as well as reviews and analytical studies by
experts from international organizations and multilateral banks. In the first section of the
paper, planning models to develop a metro project are analyzed, then a comparison is made
between levels of demand or passenger flows and economic-financial variables and finally
the operation models are studied. Conclusions are presented with the most relevant factors
to consider when planning and developing a metro system in Latin America.
