Transatiago

Actually, I`ve never knew the other kind of transport, I mean the "yellow buses". I went to live to Santiago two years ago and in that time Transatiago already was in operation but I will compare with the public transport in my city, Talca.
In Talca the buses are so smallest, and very very older. Usually the buses are decorated with a lot of knickknacks, you know, stickers from everything that you can imagine, rosaries and funny lights that turn on when the bus turn to the left or when the bus stop. Also, it`s no rare that the bus stink with many different smells. Sometimes bus smells like an older house, or like a public bath, or a typical smell of a bus. It`s seems that the buses in my city are the worse in the country but the buses have some qualities. For example, the seats are more comfortable than the seats in transantiago. Usually, the seats have quilted and sit down on it is pleasant.
I`m happy with Transantiago, I have no problem to arrive to my home. Maybe it was ‘cause I`m live in Providencia Street. I guess that the big problem it`s the population, it`s so many people for only one city. I think that to make more metro station could turn better this problem.
