TRANSANTIAGO >> BEFORE AND AFTER

Generally, I think this new system is better than the last one. But it is important to say I could be considering this system as a good one only because of my particular suburb (I mean La Florida); and maybe, if I lived in other ones, I would be saying right now that is a bad bad system. It is to say: is Transantiago working diferrently, depending of the area of Santiago?

Well, the thing is I think is better now. Why? Less theft, less buses' carrers, and machines working at dawn (that save me a lot).

When it started, the system was shit, really. Every one knows that. And now, from my experience, it's a lot better.

What I would change on this??? Is something that I'm interested more, more than if is better now ore worse: there is a political problem in the workers' organization of those companies. When they have gone to strike, they have used a bad method of pression: get useless the machines (the buses), saved them at their place of work. The "leaders" of the unions are forgetting something very important: all strikes are an class instrument. So, what should they do instead that method? Well, get out the buses (from the central place of work) and to get people with free access to theirs "tours" (theirs lines of work on Santiago): bring them with free pass. That would be a struggle method that would receive support of a lot of people, maybe of the medias, and that would generate an eficient pression to the companies' propietaries.
