Compreensão sobre o transporte público: a espacialidade dos mototaxis na área central de Caicó - RN

Abstract

This research will seek to understand the dynamics related to complementary public transport, carried out by motorcycle taxis, in the central area of the urban space of Caicó, an important municipality in the state of Rio Grande do Norte. For this, the socio-spatial context of the constitution of this type of transport will be understood, since the 1990s, the characterization of the workers who carry out the provision of this type of transport and the relation of the motorcycle taxi service to the understanding of the current urban dynamics in Caico, in especially in its central urban area. Thus, as a methodology for the development of this research, it is first necessary to establish the scope of the object of study, without, however, losing sight of its relationship with the totality, with the dynamics of the movement that takes place in the geographic space. Therefore, when discussing the complementary collective transport by motorcycle taxis, we sought to deepen the social and spatial consequences of its presence, especially in a capitalist urban space as unequal as the Caicoense one, in order to build a full citizenship.
