about transantiago

Well, I think that transantiago is not so bad, but I agree that it has many problems that need to be fixed now. I also know that my opinion is based on my experience, and I think I have been very lucky because when I talk with other person about this topic, they always tell me about waiting for hours or something like that.
The transantiago is better than the old system in many ways: The school students are not discriminated now. The people that needs to take more than one bus just pay one time, and the use of a tarjet to pay its much more clean and fast than coins. But in other points of reference it’s worse than the yellow buses, because sometimes force people to take 3 or 4 combinations when is not necesary.
In my experience, I can say that it always help me. When it started, I studied in JGM and it was even much easier to go there from my house than with the old system. And now I can say the same thing.
In my opinion it must get better the frecuency and the prices must reduce, maybe untill make it free, because most of times we use public transport as an obligation, and also because in a free system, maybe some people start to leave the car at home, and reduces the polution. The last thing is the use of green technologies for the public transport, maybe electric buses, troleis, etc.
