Although Bogota has changed a lot during the last ten years when the mayors tried to transform the city in to a more human place, thinking more in the persons, we still have a bad transportation system, based mainly in old and insecure buses. There’s a new system called Transmilenio of big articulated buses and stations similar to those of a metro, but this is not enough and a metro for Bogotá, a city of nearly eight million people, is still far from reality. Any way, if you visit Bogota you will have several alternatives and even traveling in a traditional bus will be something like an exotic experience.
Acá en Santiago implementaron un sistema similar al Transmilenio (llamado Transantiago), pero como todo acá fue hecho a la rápida y en vez de un cambio paulatino, fue del día a la mañana. Resultado... el metro, que antes ofrecía un buen servicio y podías ir cómodo... ahora tienes que luchar para subirte en las horas punta.
