This image shows a train station in the suburbs of the City of Buenos Aires. It can be seen it is a housing area with some commerce. There are no passengers waiting at the moment because it is a Sunday morning. The lifts for handicapped can also be seen (what cannot be seen is that they are not working). Other visible information: the streets have trees, it is a not so dense area and that it is a relatively new area in the city (not old buildings). Two “invisible” information that can be extracted from the photograph are the amount of people using the train as a commuting transport system to the center of the city | suburbs (tourist sites) during the day and weekends and the frequency of the trains. One of the main problems in extended and overpopulated cities as Buenos Aires is the means of transportation from one place of the city to another. Being able to estimate the frequency of the means of transport, creating applications that allows knowing the passing of the next train and designing rapid transport corridors (like bus rapid transport), could help planners to avoid congestions and thus air contamination due to combustion, time consuming displacements (and personal energy), that the inhabitant can choose the best and rapid way of going where he needs.
