Resumen
This paper examines the relationship between the number of passengers who access walking to the 42 stations of the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system in Quito, Ecuador and urban variables. For this purpose, a Direct Ridership Model (DRM) is built, relying on Geographic Information Systems (to define the service area and calculate its urban characteristics within a pedestrian distance threshold of 600 meters) and a multiple linear regression model (to explain the number of entries per station as a function of the urban environment). The results reveal that the number of boarding maintains correlation with the density of the network, land use, shape index, sidewalk width, distance to the business center, while, population density is not significant, even though is necessary to explain the model.
