World Car Free Day 2007

Next Friday September 28 is celebrated in Chile the "World Day without my car", an initiative that has been doing for a while but every year achieves greater notoriety. The idea is that all citizens of the car we go down that day and use other means of transport to move around, such as public transport, cycling, why not our own feet. The

World Day without a car is also celebrated in many European cities on September 22 so fixed, I imagine that the date change here was to fall on a Friday. In Chile one of its most notorious is the closure for the cars of the Alameda (the previous version was from Plaza Italia and Teatinos) and shall be available 2 tracks for cyclists and generating a huge traffic congestion around (another incentive not riding in a car that day.)

In previous versions some controversy was generated, critics say that does not correspond to discourage car use when you have a good transport system public. That was before the implementation of Transantiago ... imagine now.

Despite the criticism (which some reason they have), it is possible to participate in anyway without getting on a bus or the subway, using non-motorized transportation. Finally not to make the journey to work or study site (which can be quite long for some) but to travel to other activities, which are nearby and perfectly "achievable" in the means of transport .... better than nothing.

Is it dangerous to use bicycle helmets? Reform

Usually the discussion about whether helmet use for cyclists should or does not generate much disagreement between users and "ideologues" of urban cycling. The large Discussion focuses on the usefulness of the helmet to protect riders in case of accident at low speed and at the same time, the limited use of it to protect against accidents at high speeds or when it was struck by a vehicle.

A questionable utility of the hull is very annoying to use it, especially in summer, which could discourage potential riders to change their mode of transport for the bike ... something clearly not desirable.

a long time ago now, a study Bath University, UK, began to clear the film. Ian Walker, a "traffic psychologist", an electronic sensor installed on your bike you possible to measure the distance to vehicles ahead in the two situations, with and without a helmet. The result ?.... passing vehicles on average 8.5 inches closer to the view advanced by the rider wearing a helmet.

The result is surprising, it seems that motorists assume that a cyclist with a helmet will be more "experienced" than one without, then expect to behave more "predictable" in the same and are given leave to move closer to the . This would suggest that cyclists "beginners" should not wear a helmet if they will venture to share the road with other traffic flows. However, it is not recommended that an inexperienced rider out to walk down the street ... and less if it is going to do without a helmet.

What we conclude from this? ... while not educate motorists to respect cyclists to always be dangerous cycling in the city ... with or without a helmet, especially for cyclists should not ride on the sidewalk and bike paths do not reach everywhere. For citizens are encouraged to bike to do this look attractive and safe ... might have to start to implement bike lanes on roadways claims (something that apparently is being done, but poorly organized and methodical way), where users could gain experience and then hit the streets with a minimum of confidence ... and hope you can do with a helmet (because maybe do) without the physical attacks on cars.

metropolitan bus system in Seoul, Korea False False False

By Cristián Canales.

In July 2004, the Seoul Metropolitan Government undertook an ambitious reform of the bus system, with the aim of creating an integrated network and improve the level of public transport system. The old system, which enhanced the competition between the subway and the bus was converted into a mutually beneficial supplementary interconnection.

The bus route system became a modal system. The operation went from being semi-private, public authority decides to transport routes and methods of operation, while the actual management is carried out by private companies as qualified. Were established 36 km of bus lanes on main roads in 2005 and is expected to reach 170 km in the near future. Also implemented a new fare system for transfers between bus and metro, and a smart card (contactless RF). Currently manages the routing of the buses and their distribution by System Management Bus, and a GPS.

At 6 months of project implementation, and positive results were observed in number of passengers, security, punctuality and reliability. The average daily use has increased by 620,000 passengers and 760,000 passengers transfer. The bus speed has doubled, reaching 22 km / h. Public transport as a whole has increased its revenues by 12.9% and 2.5% by bus. The project will be extended to the entire area covered by the metro network and implement more restrictive policies of automobile traffic.

The following are the five key features that highlighted in this new system:

1. Simplified the bus routes.
2. Has established four different categories of buses.
3. The current fixed price system has been replaced by a new tariff system based on the distance you travel. The metro has also adopted this system.
4. The number of buses indicate the different areas of Seoul, making it easier for passengers to identify the origin and destination.
5. The installation of satellite communication system allows passengers to check the arrival time of buses using cell phones or PDAs.

bus type and rates

applies the following basic rate if it is not transferred to another bus any distance. Exchange rate: 1 peso = 0.55 won

Discount transfers

The basic fee covers the first 10 km. plus 100 won for every 5 additional miles. With the new fare system, passengers will benefit in prices when they need to transfer from bus to bus, bus to subway or vice versa. For example, if you make a trip of 14 km underground, and transferred to a bus for another trip of 5 miles within 30 meters from the subway exit, you pay only 800 won for the first 10 miles plus 100 won for each additional 5 kilometers, so in this case, you apply the sum of 1,000 won on the card. Transfer discounts only apply if passengers make the transfer within 30 minutes after marking the exit to get off the bus or subway exit. Transfers discounts only apply as long as the output dial.

transport card Seoul - T-money


T-money is the new card for transport in the city of Seoul, which can be used for both bus and subway. T-money card can be prepaid or pay after use through credit cards. The prepaid card can be used only for public transport, you can find the type "popular" (of 1,500 won) and type "luxury" (2,500 won) to accumulate points for the services used by the affiliated companies.

T-money cards can be recharged easily in any place selling them at kiosks or from the sum of 1,000 won to 90,000 won. Those who leave Seoul and did not need more of this card can receive the remaining amount on the card, less the 1,500 won on the value of the card anywhere selling T-money card. With the use of T-money card, passengers can enjoy more benefits in rebates than paying cash. For example, if you take five times the bus or subway for a distance of less than 10 kilometers, will apply only the minimum rate of 800 won, while if you pay cash, the total amount paid for this trip will be of 4,000 won.
