Transantiago

Transantiago has been a real change in the city: The “facing change” could be, for some people, better and for other people very bad, but, include that it has been getting better and better.

When Transantiago started, all the people said “Oh no! Transantiago is awful! Where is Ivan Zamorano?” and laughed all the day. In those days I discovered differents forms to moving in the city (Santiago), because in the other system of transport (yellow buses, in Spanish “Micros amarillas”) I had too much buses in my street: are crossed eight lines of long-distance buses, to Maipú, Recoleta, Escuela Militar, Providencia, Independencia, and to the Middletown.

The old buses are good for to sleep, especially in long distances just like Quilicura – Baquedano. Now, I only slept twice.

I like the buses information in Transantiago, as the website is very complete, although on the principle went horrible. I miss the big maps of the city. Now, we only have cut maps.

I like to take the bus the sundays and to pay “Scholar”, It is a big difference between the old system and the new system!

In this days, there are willingness of the politicians to improve this new system. Transantiago looks a lot better.
