Transantiago

The actual system of public transportation it’s thousands of year beyond the past yellow buses. In general terms Transantiago it’s a good system of public transportation . . . but it still have a lot of problems specially in the peripherals neighborhoods, whit some routes. The system of public transport it’s now stable, but in the beginning was a mess, in comparatives wais, the old public transport was much better than the brand new Transantiago. It need it a lot of time, patience and money to fix it to an acceptable way.
The main reason of the failure of Transantigo, in it’s beginnings, was the poor pacification, they focus the system in to the minimum cost possible . . . but the government didn’t think about what the people wants and need. This was another political move for the government and a business for the companies involve, and not a need of the people. After all, this system it’s more expensive that they think.
One of the problems for the future it is the expensive that the ticket it’s getting, discouraging the use of the public transport, and actually encoring the use of cars making the environment worse. In almost all the world the public transportation it’s subsidized, and there are examples like Iceland were the public transportation it’s free. The governments necessarily have to think beyond the economic cost, and also start to listen to the people for the best of all.
