The parade of ¨ Technology · before the investigative commission Transantiago, now it was time for the former president of Metro, Fernando Bustamante. According to La Tercera, Bustamante blames the current government about the serious problems it has had the plan, to give beginning in February 2006 even if no were ready all the stops, stations or intermodal equipment in vehicles for fleet management.
Would it work better if that system existed? Undoubtedly so, especially the technological support to manage the (low) current frequency and the same number of buses, reduce waiting times. However, all these delays are not the sole responsibility of the current government, the fragility of Transantiago-patent through countless failures and delays "comes from the former government, being part of the problem inherited. It can not last a junior government is wrong to say that this government exclusive jump-start the plan on 10 February, to the justified suspicion that things would be alright. The basic question is how is it possible that after four postponements, the date has not yet given the basics to ensure a decent quality of service? That obviously comes from behind. With everything that has happened, it is clear that it was a mistake to start with the plan in February, but the government was between a rock and a hard place, because a further postponement came with a storm of criticism (possibly, they would be higher than estimated which have now been received) to stop further release the plan in 2008, an election year, all explaining the decision made but not justified. Returning
Bustamante, before the million dollar question "was a mistake Metro prioritize investments in infrastructure over the Transantiago? Responds that is not conflicting with · Interests Transantiago because Metro provides a good surface transport ¨. Perhaps Bustamante spent a couple of nights thinking how to answer this question. The answer is correct only in one case, if the plan has a budget almost infinite, capable of building more subway and bus infrastructure at the same time. The obvious counter question is: Rethink your answer, if I add that because of the 2,000 million dollars spent to double the underground, leaving only crumbs for the infrastructure for buses?
The Transantiago gestation stage (or rather, the Transport Plan for Modernization of Santiago), at the dawn of this millennium, Germain belt was in charge of the plan and his vision was exactly the opposite, the buses priority on the underground (view also of the transportation engineers, at least those who give their opinion publicly and Slaughterhouse-Palma, for reasons explained in at least five items), while on the other side was Bustamante, bidding to make meters . I do not know how important was the work of Metro's decision Ricardo Lagos, or whether it was completed only convincing, but the results are clear: Belt out Transantiago, a ton of money for Metro, buses in state of disrepair and users realize the importance of transportation in their lives the hard way.
