Transantiago =__=

I’ve always studied far from my house, so I’ve always got to move through the entire city in order to arrive to school.

First we had the “yellow buses transport system”. Its main problem was the buses’ conditions: They often got stuck at the half of the road and then you had to wait for another bus which could arrive almost 30 minutes after. Besides, they used to smell like something was in flames.

Then the government decided to change this system for the current one: Transantiago. Everybody expected for a better public transport system and not to have to travel like cattle. At the beginning it seemed it was the same system that we had, the same uncomfortable way to travel big distances but now with larger buses so there could be even more people stuck at the same time. The same occurred at the subway in the morning and the afternoon. Everybody complained, but gradually we started to get used again to the lack of enough buses, to have to cross big distances in the same bus (the so called “buses troncales” or main buses) or even to have only one number of bus that takes you home.

I personally think that all the money the public transport system busyness men use to improve their own life style could be used to improve something that’s everyone’s property.
