The concept of sustainability, when associated with the urban space, goes beyond the limits of the environmental discourse and also includes economic and social factors related to human activities. In this context, different forms of public transport may play a relevant role. The model of urban development that promotes the use of private automobiles has caused problems to the quality of life of city dwellers. However, there are ways that can help reducing the impact of motor vehicles used by individual drivers. One of them is the promotion of the bicycle as a mean of urban transport. The use of bicycles in an urban centre can be an addition to the existing public transport system by increasing its capacity and limitations and by replacing other existing means of transport for short distances.
