AB The population growth in cities pushes to seek solutions for the mobility of people, one ofthe 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 ofits cities have grown to have populations of several million inhabitants and therefore theyhave 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 developmentmodels of metros in Latin America and analyze the traits of these systems, compared tometros in other regions of the world. The conclusions of this study will not only be usefulfor local planners, but also for development banks and other international organizations in away that they can understand and adapt their processes to local conditions. The researchuses statistical information from benchmarking groups of metro systems throughout theworld, as well as information presented in annual reports of companies operating metrosystems. Academic documents are also used, as well as reviews and analytical studies byexperts from international organizations and multilateral banks. In the first section of thepaper, planning models to develop a metro project are analyzed, then a comparison is madebetween levels of demand or passenger flows and economic-financial variables and finallythe operation models are studied. Conclusions are presented with the most relevant factorsto consider when planning and developing a metro system in Latin America.
