Transantiasco? I don't think so...

Well... when transantiago system started I was steel living in linares, so I can only talk about it actually, because I have no idea about how "yellow-busses" was.
I think that the idea of transantiago is very good; I mean; if it was working as it was plained, I have no doubts that it could be one of the better public transports in America; but there is too much work forward to become that.
I have not bad things to say about it, because I only use to take two busses, that are "216" (I take it every days at three blocks from my house and it leaves me in the entry of the university in only twenty five minutes) and the "403" (I only use to take it when I have to go to the center or to the "worker hospital" to give blood each three months).
Since I live in Santiago, I try to use only busses and to avoid the subway, because normally feel dizzy in very closed spaces like the subway coaches and I think that travel goes less tedious when I can look at the landscape, instead of being stocked in a black hole.
Obviously not all is perfect; as so many people told me, it's needed to improve the routes, because sometimes, we need to make lots of changes of busses.
But the main point to improve is to coordinate the exits of the busses because sometimes two followed ones passes after waiting 30 minutes or more.

    Laura,
    I agree with the timing. It is very unreliable.
    Some sentences are too long. connectors... remember?
