The Transantiago system

Transantiago system started in 2007. It was the big project of the Ricardo Lagos’ period. This new transport system was very controversial, because many things were unfinished.

I didn’t use, frequently, the public transport system previous to Transantiago , but I think that this system has three big advantages than the old system (“the yellow buses”): Transantiago system doesn’t pollute, the levels of criminality have decreased and the people use the bip-card to pay. And, sincerely, Transantiago system is aesthetically better than pre-Transantiago system.

The Transantiago System has improved its mistakes. When the system started I had to wait a lot of time at the bus stops, besides the buses were full of people. Today, the Transantiago system is faster and there are spaces to sit.

I would propose two tools to improve the Transantiago system. First, I would make more special routes for the buses and I would put the cameras to avoid the potentials armed robberies inside the buses. Also, I would propose a decrease of the ticket value and I’d hire the service of the artists.

Well… In general, I have a positive evaluation of the system. I try to be optimist because I didn’t like the pre-Transantiago System.

Thanks for reading.
