In the Metropolitan Area of Santiago de Chile, profound challenges are imposed on its less favored inhabitants since both their income and the territories where they reside reveal a diminished availability of mobility capital. This research seeks to calculate and understand the different costs of mobility, expressed in time and money to commute to work, as an expression of existing urban inequalities in the city. For this, the Socio-Economic Characterization Survey (CASEN) of the Ministry of Social Development of 2015 and 2017 are used, which incorporate questions about people's mobility. From a quantitative approach, the monthly monetary costs of household mobility are defined by determining their percentage in the monetary household income, and a complementary analysis is carried out considering different socioeconomic variables. The results show deep inequalities linked to a greater weight of public transport cost in the income of the most vulnerable, a fact that is consistent with longer commuting times due to the distance between their residence and work centers, higher unemployment, and relatively less private motorization. La expansión urbana ha ampliado las distancias y tiempos de viaje de las personas que viven y trabajan en las ciudades. En el Área Metropolitana de Santiago de Chile sus habitantes menos favorecidos enfrentan profundos desafíos, pues tanto sus ingresos como los territorios donde residen revelan una menguada disponibilidad de capitales de movilidad. La presente investigación busca calcular y entender los distintos costos de la movilidad expresados en tiempo y en dinero, a partir de los viajes al trabajo como expresión de las desigualdades urbanas existentes en la ciudad. Se utilizan para esto las Encuestas de Caracterización Socio Económica (CASEN) del Ministerio de Desarrollo Social de 2015 y 2017, que incorporan preguntas sobre la movilidad de las personas. Desde un enfoque cuantitativo, se definen los costos monetarios mensuales de la movilidad de los hogares determinando su porcentaje en el ingreso monetario del hogar y se realiza un análisis complementario considerando distintas variables socioeconómicas. Los resultados evidencian profundas desigualdades debidas al mayor peso del costo del transporte público en los ingresos de los más vulnerables, hecho que se condice con mayores tiempos de viaje debido a la lejanía entre su residencia y los centros laborales, mayor desempleo y menor motorización privada.
