Transantiago, before and after

The new public transport system in Santiago, called ''Transantiago'', began its operation on 10th February 2007.

In a start, had a very bad aceptation by the people. Santiago was in chaos. The people had to wait too time an even hours to take a bus to arrive to their works places in the morning, and to back to home, in the evening. Thats way, many people were unhappy with this new system of the public transport and they demanded the resignation of transport minister, because all the problems caused.

But in my opinion, not all of this change has been negative. For example, before of transantiago I did must pay my ticket with cash money, which was very uncomfortable. In this new system, I have to pay with a card rechargeable, called ''Bip'' Card, a way very much easy and comfortable to pay, and more secure for the bus driver because they haven money, and they not suffer many assaults than before the transantiago.

Other positive aspect of this change has been the reduction of environmental pollution, and acustic pollution, because the the buses are more news and modern than the another buses before of the implementation of transantiago.

The negative aspects I think is the long time that I must to wait some buses, but this problem has improved trought of the time.

In summary, I think that this change has been a good idea, and in spite of had several problems in its start, this problems has been solved step by step...
