For many years, the success of urban transport systems has been measured through indicators such as passenger volumes, commercial speed, travel time reductions, and network coverage. While these metrics remain important, they are no longer sufficient. In a context of rapid urbanization and increasing pressure from climate change, transport must be understood as a strategic tool for fostering economic development, social inclusion, and the sustainability of our cities. Latin America is one of the most urbanized regions in the world, with more than 80% of its population living in urban areas. Globally, nearly 70% of the world's population is expected to live in cities by 2050. This trend presents significant challenges: urban expansion toward the outskirts, longer commuting distances, traffic congestion, air pollution, and mounting pressure on existing infrastructure. Countries such as Mexico, Colombia, and Peru consistently rank among those experiencing the highest levels of traffic congestion. Against this backdrop, transport planning can no longer be developed independently of urban development. This need has given rise to the concept of Transit-Oriented Development (TOD), a planning strategy that promotes the concentration of housing, employment, commercial activities, and public services around high-capacity transit corridors. The goal is to create more compact, walkable, and sustainable cities, where mobility serves as an enabler of development rather than simply a public service. International experience demonstrates that transport projects generate impacts that extend far beyond mobility itself. In Colombia, for example, the TransMilenio system transformed the way millions of people move around Bogotá and reshaped part of the city's urban structure. At the same time, it provided an important lesson: building transport infrastructure alone is not enough to ensure balanced urban development. To fully unlock its potential, investments in mobility must be coordinated with land-use planning, housing policies, public space improvements, and economic development strategies. For
