How is queuing in the crossing bridge during rush hour? is it comfortable? How is the condition inside the buses?

[exelood]

In the rush hour about 90% of the system are full! all the system carries an average of 1,4 milllion of passengers every day. some new routes are in construction but the city have a metro plan too. Is not very comfortable if you are at the rush hour... but you get your destination very fast.

I live in Jakarta, and we adopt the same Penalosa system. We call it TransJakarta, and people are complaining about it.

But I think the aim of the project is very good, claiming the street for people instead of cars. People have to be forced to walk instead of drive, that's what I think.

In Bogota we have the same problem, the only way is take out the cars and make more spaces for all the people. Look up "Bogotá's Bike Paths Network" article in Wikipedia.

is such the inefficiency of the colombian system, that construction companies made cheap and unstable concrete tracks for the bus system so that they could erode over time and that way have an excuse to replace them and charge twice the costs, the commun local would not notice this since it has been happening over the years but still wonders why taxes and the bus fare are so expensive.this is not limited to bogota,email to me my yahoo account, ill give facts and details.

Bus systems are really an improvement but it is not sustainable bogota is very corrupt, it is because of this, that the metro, just the planning costs so much, and the construction will be twice as much, the way politicians planned a bus system before a metro does not make any sense,they made bus system where a metro system should have been first, metro systems have proven to be very efficient and whoever that has traveled to new york,Tokyo or boston can tell us the advantages of train transport

Ive read about that, i'm actually making a thesis about this sustainable transportation mode :D

[miguemigue127]

this is very cool and an efficeint transport, me being born in Bogota i do recall plenty of congested roads and now with the transmilenio the city looks refreshed and not so crowded but i do see that the transmilenio buses are getting crowded, i think the should consider maybe making double articulated buses
