O Fretamento individual como modalidade alternativa no sistema de transporte rodoviário intermunicipal de passageiros do estado do Ceará

Abstract

The evolution of societies and the increasing of the movement of goods and people, has given to the Traffic and Transport Public Policy a socio-political and economic role of extreme importance, since it is a factor determining the welfare of the community, a real matter of public interest, to which the state should pay special attention. In this context, the Road Passenger Transport is distinguished by setting up a service substantially necessary, however, often inadequate. In the second half of 2008, due to changes in the structure of state government of Ceará, the state cotrol of road passenger transport service was increased, which gave more exposure to the problems surrounding the activity. In this context, the role of manager of business in the State of Ceará - Transit State Department - for the use of taxi service to travel between cities, has generated extensive discussion in various social sectors related to the subject. It’s paying attention to this reality that we deal in this work, initially studying the conceptual aspects of transport, identifying it as "service" and characterized it as an public service or as an activity typical of private enterprise, examining aspects of distinctive ways as which can be offered to society, and evaluating a specific legal discipline on the subject, to, finally, evaluate the role of the state as entity responsible for safeguarding the public interest.
