Pedestrian mobility should be promoted as a local displacement option in every city, but this is not always the case. Typically, public administration allocates a large amount of resources to build massive public transportation system infrastructure that does not take into account pedestrian mobility. This research seeks to evaluate pedestrian mobility as a means of access to public transport, based on the built urban environment, from accessibility variables, safety, comfort, and attraction of displacements in stations and terminals of Corredor BRT Chimalhuacán–Nezahualcóyotl–Pantitlán. An analysis was realized of the surrounding streets of the 28 stations and two terminals of the Corredor BRT within a radius of 100 m. In the correlational study, quantitative spatial analysis thresholds were established to determine five levels of pedestrian quality, and thus classify built urban environments according to the level of pedestrian accessibility allow. The results indicate minimal pedestrian planning of built urban environments close to public transport, which generates conditions of insecurity in travel, vials accidents, public space abandonment, and urban image deterioration. This research identifies a need to consider the pedestrian approach zones in the design of this type of mass public transport since its consideration is strategic for the success of its operation.
