SUMMARY:

The thesis evaluates the relationship between the public transport subsidy and the access to the city for individuals residing in cities, spaces where inequalities constitute one of the main challenges in the public agenda. The central problem consists of the unequal access to public transport between different groups in society, and how this difference impacts on the form of appropriation of the city. Transport is understood as a mean of expanding individual’s freedoms, according to SEN's Capability Approach (2018). It is assumed that public transport subsidy policies have an impact on increasing commuting time for the lower-income population, in their housing location decision and in the conditions of their rights. That said, the central hypothesis of this thesis is that the State, through a public transport subsidy policy, interferes in the individual capacity set, expanding their freedoms by stablishing a value that can be used to travel to the work and, as an externality, increases the income of their families. The methodology was structured by an interescale perspective – firstly analyzing metropolitan spaces and, subsequently, turning to the intra-urban scale case of Brasília. The analysis observes the process of evaluation the distinct capacity, complemented, to a certain extent, by the supplementary approach, as indicated by SEN (2018). The income together with the type of employment relationship are considered as in a complementary way to the analysis driven. Mobility capacity is defined by the combination of two layers: the Individual Resources and the Context Factors – encompassing aspects intrinsic to individuals as well as to the urban environment. In general, regardless of the scale of analysis, whether metropolitan or local, the subsidy for commuting proved to be an important element in expanding individual freedoms, as those who use the transport voucher ended up having a longer commute time when compared to workers who do not have the benefit, for the same income group. This greater displacement expands the opportunities for interaction between other dimensions of the training set, implying broader access to the city, regarding to the services and public amenities present in the more central regions.
