Sumario:: In the year 2008 the Municipality of the city of Neuquén and the Transportation Studies Center of the National University of Cordoba, signed a technical assistance agreement to develop a transportation project regarding urban transit reorganization. Alternative design proposals for the transportation network were considered aimed at improving operational, social, environmental, economic and regulative issues. A household travel survey was performed together with other complementary census, providing the primary information to develop the project, which concluded with a transit service bidding preliminary or draft document. The outcome of this piece of work was a contribution towards changing the standpoint about the role of urban transit, highlighting its relationship with urban environment development and its implications with life quality and opportunities for citizens. Almost a decade later, it is noted that the technical recommendations were partially implemented. This evidences that technical solutions should be part of an integrated and participatory policy to warrant continuity and completion of technical projects despite social or political changes.
