Need for management/problems

• Due to the cities location, transport (public and by car) are often very cramped and crowded
• Public transport (bus networks) are overcrowded, meaning: no space on buses, traffic jams, health (commuters complain about leg pain and fatigue), unreliable due to breakdowns (delayed) and limited bus provision
• Due to the fact that favelas have no access to the subway, residents of the favelas are in poverty so there is a lack of car ownership and also unreliable public transport, residents are forced to journey on foot or cycle on poorly maintained streets
• Lack of pedestrian crossings poses a further risk to walkers and cyclists when trying to cross busy streets
• Out-with the favelas: Increase population has led to an increase in the number of cars on the road (Increase in traffic congestion)
• Out-with the favelas: Bus network is overcrowded (4 million passengers everyday)
