Transporte público em Maceió: garantia ou violação de direito?

Abstract

This paper aims to reflect on the right to public transport in Maceió, based on human rights, specifically social rights, from the perspective of guaranteeing or denying these rights to users. The work was developed through bibliographic and documentary research, highlighting the historical construction of human rights up to contemporary times, as well as the right to public transport as one of the means that favor access to other social rights, such as the right to freedom to go and come. The study is based on constitutional texts, laws and decrees and on production related to urban mobility, ending with an overview of the current situation of public transport in Maceió, which shows that its operation is deficient, becoming obstacle to access to basic social services such as work, leisure, health, education, therefore the materialization of social rights.
