Abstract

Public transportation provides access to leisure experiences and leisure spaces in urban centers for peripheral communities, democratizing the cultural goods of/in the city. Therefore, the objective of this paper is to analyze the policy cycle of the "Tarifa Domingueira", from the Curitiba-Paraná city, in which encouraged the use of public transportation for leisure on Sundays. A documentary research was used to carry out the investigation and analyze the policy. It is concluded that the policy cycle was governed by the interests of different managements, political actors and public-private institutions, all of them directly linked to the transportation system and city management, but little intervention by organized social groups was detected. Thus, it is necessary to instigate the participation of civil society in policies cycles to promote democratic participation in the polity and access to cultural goods in the cities.
