The lack of harmonized transport: a practical example (and pathological)

For about 4 months on my commute I find an example of what the lack of coordination between the various institutions that make decisions about the transportation system in Santiago. At first I thought the authorities would eventually charge for this error (it has been previously reported ), but that has not happened, so I proceed to do this "interview suit." The axis

Curicó-Tarapacá There is a (very useful) bike path that goes from Vicuña Mackenna to Paseo Bulnes. The problem is that, besides the usual obstructions , cyclists move with difficulty in this way because some authority decided (arbitrarily) that a single block, the bike path should go across the street.

How? ... Tell the nice readers ... is it possible that such a mockery? Well if so, the following pictures to prove it.

At the bike lane disappears and is changed to the north side of the road.



can be seen even reversed in segregating Physically this piece of bike path that nobody uses





then the cycle path continues along its original side

all this mess with the need there to give priority to turn to the left of the buses Transantiago (by Arturo Prat). Surely some official decided to switch sides complete the cycle path, a second officer decided there was not much money and a third (half case making the first and second) sent the order to execute this without even having the slightest knowledge of the problem.

It is almost funny that has changed the bike path side ... would have disappeared if only one would understand it was a (very bad) workaround to the problem of the turn of the buses. However, the waste of resources physically segregate anyone use a bike path confirms that what he was a (very bad) solution to the problem of the turn of the buses (and in passing we confirmed that in this country plenty of silver )

I do not want to accuse anyone of doing a bad job, which seems to happen is that everyone does but without a proper overall organization. Seeing this level of disorganization on a specific problem, one can imagine the level of mismatch that exists between, for example, the various ministries to try take forward a project as complex as Transantiago. It is hoped that these problems (the cycle path and the Transantiago) are solved in spite of bureaucratic barriers ...

One hopes that the "heads" serve to "something more" to shoot when an error is detected ....
