MASS TRASPORTATION SYSTEM

Trasmilenio is a mass transportation system in Bogota that has been in use for the last ten years. This system was created in 1998 and it had its first operation in the caracas avenue. The introduction of its system in the city has caused positive and negative effects for the population.

In the first place, the use of this system has many advantages over other transportation systems, principally in speed and safety; nowadays we can arrive to place of work in less time that before. In addition, there are specifics stations according to our needs which allow that we take a determined buss for go to determined place. Trasmilenio can be use by pregnancy women, children, elderly people, disabled people, moreover in the buss there is a space designed especially for this people. The use of trasmilenio avoids that people who are daily in the city take a traffic jam.

On the other hand the number of robberies has been reduced. in this system , because in each station there is police presence, although it is relative, because into the buss generally there are a big number of people, for this reason the safety into the buss reduced. Another disadvantage of use this transportation system is that it is used for majority of people; it is a situation that allow massive people and discomfort the same.


In conclusion, I think that this mass transportation system has been have many advantages for our, which allow more speed and safety. To stand out the speed that is the most important advantage, because we take a trasmilenio buss and arrive with time to determinate place.
