El centro de Santiago vio acontecer una nueva manifestación en contra del nuevo plan de transporte público, Transantiago. Cerca de 500 personas se reunieron para protestar y caminar alrededor de una hora en el Paseo Ahumada. La policía de FF.EE atacó la multitud con guanacos cuando ellos intentaron interrumpir el tráfico de la Alameda… pero no hubo arrestos esta vez

Las condiciones inhumanas del transporte público le costó la vida a un trabajador. ¿Cómo? Un ataque cardiaco provocado por el metro colapsado.

Cerca de 20 personas de reunieron a las afueras del Ministerio de Transportes y Comunicaciones para protestar contra el transantiago y enviar una carta al actual ministro, Sergio Espejo. La policía reprimió la manifestación arrestando a 5.

I have been away for a couple of months. In Santiago there is a new public transport system called Transantiago. Well, the public transport in Santiago sucked, but this new one is not heaven:

• the pay with cash is deprecated, now you have to buy a card. if you lose the card, you lose all money. if you dont have enough money to buy the card, you don’t travel.
• less buses in the streets, that means, the metro and the buses looks like if we are living in japan. there are places where you don’t have public transport.
• people have to wake up aprox 1 hour before their normal time to get time to catch a bus.

This problems ended in riots in the ghettos of santiago, and several other protests in other places.

People from the Humanist Party and the Communist Party (Proletary Action) demo today in downtown santiago against Transantiago… a few people showed up and now two pictures of it:
