Hi again!

Today is the day to talk about the rice in prices of the transantiago ticket. In the last month the prices of the student ticket has rice twenty pesos: the usually $130 pesos are now $150, this is the price that you have to pay the first time that you arrive to a bus or to the subway, and you have two hours to travel in three different ways with this ticket.
But, most important to the cost that this could produce in every people who use this transport method, is the advertising campaign that the government impulse before, to justify the rice in the ticket prices. Since Wednesday or Tuesday of the last week, diaries publish notices relatives to the boom the evaders that affect the system, that were agree to the information divulge to the most important TV medias, that are related with the right government. In this way, the authority avoids the responsibility of the wrong accomplishment of the transport system and they maintain the images of efficiency that is based the government. The advertising campaign pretends to accuse the evaders like the blame of a structural failure that consist in an implementation problem and difficultly could be resolve quickly.
The big truth is that the transantiago is a destabilize system, so the solution isn’t the public resources injection, that’s the reason of continues rice of the transport ticket.

  1. yesterday, a lady said on tv "it's time all that robber stop making it to worker class", but then i think "the politic must stop to making it to all of us"
    obviously there are some people who doesn't pay 'cause don't want, but isn't fair to say people who doesn't have money should be called as "robber". $45000 every month is too much!
