For rural populations to have access to the urban environment - and all the services it offers - there needs to be adequate public transportation in reasonable numbers so that integration between rural and urban areas can occur. In this way, this study seeks to analyze how public transport interferes with rural-urban mobility and causes socio-spatial segregation in the PSH Tabocas Allotment, located in the rural area of Teresina, Piauí. The methodology used for this was a qualitative-quantitative approach, through the application and analysis of questionnaires about rural-urban mobility in this community. In order to contribute to the interpretation of the data collected, bibliographical research was previously carried out on materials dealing with public transport, mobility, the rural-urban dichotomy and socio-spatial segregation. Based on the analysis carried out, it became clear that the public transport on offer does not meet the population's demand when it comes to using it to carry out services and activities in the city of Teresina. Therefore, when it is not provided efficiently and in accordance with users' needs, this means of transportation fails to fulfill its function of spatial integration and begins to generate socio-spatial segregation. It is therefore up to the municipal government to take effective action to ensure that the supply of public transport matches the daily needs of the population. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
