3: transantiago....

Oh God! transantiago… I have a lot to tell you about this system. Particularly today I felt very furious about that because I just have had a trouble with transantiago in my way home. Anyway, before I told you that specific trouble –which is not new for me, I’m gonna write about this experience, this change that have affected to every single person who use the public transport. (a huge percentage of the total population of Santiago).
I remember that the first month of transantiago was a disaster. A lot of people had to walk so many blocks to arrive at a bus stop and the buses didn’t pass very frecuently, so long waits were characteristic of this system. Also the new routs were so different from the old routs that complicated even more to the people. They weren’t efficient.
Fortunately, it has changed in the time, obeying the needs of people, it has increased the fleet of buses which has decreased the waiting. And, of course, we can’t complain about the money; transantiago ir cheaper than the old system (more known as “the yellow buses” ) because transfers between buses or the subway is free. So you can use bus, subway and bus again paying only one ticket.
Anyway, the organization of the fleet of buses and the treatment of drivers hasn’t been improved enough. For example, the bus that I use to get home, sometimes I have to wait for a long time, and as the wait has been so long, it mount up a lot of people; so drivers, for some stupid reason, don`t stop the machine and let as waiting even more time in the bus stop. it is a very frustrating feeling when it happens. Like now.
