Transantiago System


Hello,
My experience with Transantiago has been good because I live near the University and the buses pass each 5 minutes approximately. Also, I can take four different buses to come at the University or to go to some place. Mainly, for these three reasons I don’t have had problem with this new system. However, I think that I have had lucky because the most of the people have had many problems in relation with the frequency of the buses. This is the worst aspect of Transantiago, many people have to wait for hours the buses. The positive things of the new system are the quality of the buses, which ones are bigger and cleaner than the previous, the seats are more comfortable, and the drivers have more safety and the buses contaminate less than the buses of pre-Transantiago system. A few times I could use the previous system because I didn’t live here yet, however, my short experience was really bad. I remember that the buses run very fast by the streets, the drivers were very unpleasant, the people paid the bus with cash and the buses were ugly and uncomfortable. The only change I would apply to the new system is improving the frequency of the buses. If you ask me Transantiago is a good system, it only requires improve some aspects.

Music (8)



The music is one of the funniest things in the world to me. I really love it! Since I was a child I have been in relation with the music, because my father loves the music and he always has played different musical instruments and has listened different kind of music. For these reason, since I had 3 years I sang the songs of Ana Gabriel and Gloria Trevi. The next years I continue been in relation with the music, because my father taught me to play guitar and piano. The main influence in my music tastes was my father. Actually, I love many kind of music, especially, the rock. My favorite bands are U2, Coldplay and Soda Stereo. The past year I could go at the concert of Soda Stereo. I went with a friend and her boyfriend. The concert was in the National Stadium and it lasted 2 hours. It was really funny! I will always remember that day. I really like these three bands, however, I listen other styles of music like pop music, romantic music, salsa music, and classical music. Some singers that I like are Ricardo Arjona, Alejandro Sanz, Juan Luis Guerra, Cerati and other. Other bands that I listen are Cafetacuba, Fabulosos Cadillacs, Maná, Los Bunkers and other. Behind of these singers and bands, I usually like songs of unknown singers. There are many songs of unknown singers that I listened in a special moment and for this reason I like them. I think that the music depends of the moment when you listen it, every kind of music can be genial in different moments.
