Para determinar cuáles elementos del sistema de transporte público en Costa Rica afectan la calidad de vida según la percepción del usuario es necesario conocer su opinión respecto a las condiciones en que se le proporciona el servicio. Para la identificación de los componentes de la estructura del sistema de transporte público en Costa Rica que tienen una mayor afectación en la calidad de vida de sus usuarios, se analizaron los resultados de una Encuesta de percepción sobre el efecto del uso del transporte público en la calidad de vida, este estudio se llevó a cabo por medio de un cuestionario aplicado a funcionarios y estudiantes de la Universidad de Costa Rica (UCR). Se utilizó como herramienta de análisis los Modelos de Ecuaciones Estructurales (SEM), los cuales son una herramienta estadística multivariada que permite estudiar la relación que hay entre variables latentes y observadas. Se verificó con el modelo de ecuaciones estructurales que la satisfacción con el uso del transporte público es un dominio que afecta la satisfacción con la calidad de vida, es decir, para los costarricenses la percepción de estar satisfechos con su calidad de vida se ve influenciada por la percepción de satisfacción que tengan del uso del transporte público.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[Abstract The issue of mobility is increasingly important in Costa Rica; therefore, it becomes relevant to improve the public transport system in the country. To determine which elements of the public transport system in Costa Rica affect the quality of life according to the users&#8242; perception, it is essential to know their opinion regarding the conditions in which the service is provided. To identify the components of the structure of the public transport system in Costa Rica that have a greater impact on the quality of life of its users, the results of a survey on the effect of the use of public transport on quality of life were analysed. The data were collected by means of a questionnaire applied to workers and students at the University of Costa Rica (UCR). Structural Equation Models (SEM) were used as an analysis tool, which are a multivariate statistical tool that allows studying the relationship between latent and observed variables. The SEM allowed verifying that satisfaction with the use of public transport is a domain that affects satisfaction with the quality of life, in other words, for Costa Ricans, the perception of being satisfied with their quality of life is influenced by the perception of satisfaction they have with the use of public transport.]]></p></abstract>
