Transantiago


Transantiago


The new system of Santiago, was launched in February 2008.

I’m not from Santiago, Chile. My birth place is Guatemala, Central America. I came a year ago to Santiago to initiate my studies in Veterinary medicine, so I really don’t’ know how was the transportation system before. Except by comments from my Chilean friends.

My own experience in my country it’s a lot different from here. In Guatemala the transport system is too old, including the vehicles, the routes etc., maybe similar to Santiago 20 years ago, and also we doesn’t have a Metro system. And plus to that, the delinquency is very high and is too dangerous take it.

Easily, I can see in Santiago a very structured system. The positive noticeable things are:

- The BIP card, it’s a really good and easy method, because the people doesn’t have to carry cash, and also it’s safely for the drivers

- The rutes are more structured, providing to the people and easy orientation

- Exist a good signaling system, and makes more easy the stops, and helps the traffic

That´s all I can tell you about my experience. But in summary I found a really good system of public transportation here in Santiago.

My idea to improve the new system would be the frecuency of buses in some routes. But I´m really satisfied of the improvement of the new system.
