Well, for years back, in the capital of my country Chile, Santiago, the system of transporter, was replaced for a new one. The old yellows "micros", now are "Transiantiago" modern buses, modern... I guess.
The true is that, before i get in College, i didn´t use a lot the buses, i mean, when i was at school, or even before, when the yellows " micros" were the transporter, i didn´t use much them. But, i have some memories about that.
If i compare, like the general things, i can say that the yellows micros were unsafe. You always had to be affirmed very well, and worried about.. about everything! The driver drived so fast, i remeber once time, i have gone with my mom, and she was kind of worried, jajaja.
The thing was like more independent, or that´s i think. The driver adorned her "baby"... well i remember a lot of micros with its own name, with every kind of things hanging from the sky.... that i liked.
Now, i think its better. Although equal there are robberies, are much less. The buses are bigger, so more people can be in. It´s safer. You also can pay once, always when before you were in the subway. It´s cleaner, expeditious, and seats for disable people...
For these and a lot of more reasons, i think that Transantiago, is something that we have to care, and be proud to have.
