santiago transit

Last saturday, Santiago transit switched over to a new bus and pass system. So right now there is alot of chaos in the news as overnight all of the busses are on new routes and there is a new payment card system that hasn“t been sorted out yet (you now use a Bip card that bips when you get on the bus). So lots of pictures in the newspapers of people hanging onto the outsides of busses in certain areas.

Busses are free until everyone learns the new system, but that is making things worse by having more than normal volumes on the busses
