TranSantiago is our public transport system, was introduced in february 10th, 2007 changing all in the old system of the city also they implemented a new payment system called bip! card.
To me is a bit deficult say if TranSantiago is better o worst than the old system, because I think that this have good and bad points. On the one hand, the goods things are the payment system, the bip! card is much better, fast and safe than pay directly to the driver, also as they have a regular salary stop to all the people -almost always- not like before when they don't stoped to the schoolchilds, I remembered when I was 12 to 13 I had to stay near of an adult because if I didn't do that thay don't stop me.
On the other hand, the bad things, the irregularity of the time between bussesn in this point the old syste was much better because the drivers don't care now about that, another point is most people don't pay, they just pass and didn't care about it, I think that is the big problem of the now system maybe because people don't have the necessary education to concerned this, and for the people that don't pay, we -the people who pay- have to pay more because the goberment rise the tariff for the financing problems.
In conclusion, the idea of TranSantiago is good but maybe we are not prepared for things like this, ideas like this only work in developed countries. We need more changes for the system but more important is give a good education to all the people to change their minds and that needs years to achieve.
