Transatiago

The Transatiago system started in 2007 and it was design to be one of the greatest projects of the "Concertacion's" governments. However, it didn't work well maybe because it was designed and implemented too fast because of political reasons.

Before the implementation of this public transport system i didn't travel too much by bus, because i lived near my school, so i don't think that i have a lot of "micro amarilla" culture. Anyway, if I compare the new and the older system, I see some positive things; the older system polluted more than the new one, and nowadays there aren't robberys against the drivers, because the new system doesnt use cash to pay. In other hand when Transantiago began, the people (me included) used to wait (and wasted) a lot of time a the bus stop, and the routes were terrible designed (I really think that the people that created the system have never been on a bus!!). I said that because the transantiago system eliminated some routes that used to have many buses because they go to popular places , and created new ones that went to no man's land.

In my opinion the main thing that should be change in the transatiago system is the time between buses of the same route. For example, sometimes the buses pass all together and the people have to wait (and waste!!!) a lot of time to take the next bus. So it's really necessary to have a "schedule" for the buses in each bus stop. Although, I'm a pessimist person and i don't believe that the things would be better, though it could.....maybe if we buy some japanese robots-bus drivers that are nice, quite, fast, etc ...haha i'm getting mad....
