Hello bloggers!
I don’t use the Transantiago very much , because I didn’t live here when it was implemented, I lived in Valparaiso.
Only, I knew of this is new transport system through the news. I remember that the new showed many people, in the bus stop, waiting for a bus. I could see the people angry and dissatisfied whit the new public transport implemented for the government.
I remember some phrase as: we want that come back yellow buses or we want the old routes.
In this time I make new friends, they was Santiaguinos. We argue about this topic and they told me their opinion. Gonzalo told me than new system was detrimental for his family, because his father lost his jobs ( he was a driver of a yellow bus), but.. Specially I remember a opinion: the people didn’t inform about it.
On TV or Internet the people could inform about new routes and program their travel. I think this is related whit the culture of the people. We hate get up early and we always do the thinks ultimately.
Little I could say about my experience, because I didn’t use the old system and also Transantiago. For arrive at University or other places I take the subway because is faster and clear. I don’t know Santiago very well, and with the subway I can arrive a more places. I feel safety there.
The changes for make it more effective it in the future is consider more elements, how culture if the people, try not to make the same mistake and supervise the system frequently.
Regards!

For me, Transantiago works. I didn't use the old system much but I like this one better. It's true what you said about people gettin fired of his job, but it's also true about people didn't look the necessary information to take the bus. The problem it's from the government and from the people.
