our wonderful lately I've used public transport in the capital Santiago. The reason is solely for the lack of alternatives. I changed jobs a few weeks ago and I go downtown, so it would be completely crazy (which I'm not missing much anyway) to go by car. In short, it is not "public transportation" itself to what I write. Moreover, I think I rant against Transantiago few months ago. I just want to note two issues that catch my attention on these trips in the morning in crowded cages.
apathetic The first is what we Chileans. Transantiago in a bus all go looking at the floor, scowling, completely silent and worried about their own problems. Okay, okay. It is plausible to think that the reason for this apathy lies in it's early, everyone has dreams, no one likes to move like an animal, etc., But also depends on an attempt to improve the situation. And it's always nice getting to someone who gets on the buses of Transantiago with good humor and a smile.
This brings me to something else. What little we do to improve civility among others. Everyone is angry with everyone for the most absurd reasons and gestures of kindness have the fingers of one hand. To say nothing of the teenagers espinidullos that although the old lady is literally falling apart, look down and still comfortably seated. Therefore, the example part yourself. For example, again got a couple and she was sitting next to me while he was ahead. I, in a natural kind gesture, I said it preferred to sit together and I moved to the front seat. I think I never had offered a favor as well and looking almost assumed it was a priest, a Tibetan monk or someone good and healthy spirit. Surely I'm not that well, but I strongly believe in the gestures of civility. Thinking in this episode I realized that the secret hope is that in a similar situation, any of them respond more or less well.
