The methodology consisted on questionnaires application for both, users and operators, in order to obtain their opinion about the collective transport service and then carry out a descriptive analysis. Users indicate, in 60%, that the service is regular, while drivers indicate, in 57%, that they provide good service. Both, users and operators consider that the Municipality of Colcapirhua is the entity in charge but is not efficient in regulating public transport services. It is necessary for the competent authorities to collect information on user satisfaction in order to create actions and policies that improve the collective transport service, generating a higher quality of life for the population.
