Immobilized No. 3 "Do not tell my mother ... I'm in a taxi" Taxi Driver

Doña Norma this time I offered mango juice as he always did. I said I felt I was with the previous letter, in that "indiscriminately attacked a group of humble and honest people whose only sin was having some atarvanes colleagues like that." I said nothing, we present excuses and when I left she ran from home.

"Look sir, look at this." I went home and appeared on the news headline that Mrs. Norma expected: one of the passengers victim of a severe beating by a group of taxi drivers, was with a criminal record for theft in Ibague.
I wonder if the fact of having been in jail paying a conviction for X or Y circumstance makes one object, for the rest of life, of being branded as a thief, thug or other status. It seems to pay the penalty for justice will never be enough, even though the person knows Christ, start a new life, get a decent job and let the criminal past forever be branded as the rest of his life as a thief and therefore any movement can be considered as an attempt to steal. Apparently

Dona Norma takes this position and justify the actions of the taxi drivers. How sad. I then do the opposite, if I'm told that taxi drivers altered their meters, handle as they are given want, provided their vehicles to commit crimes because all taxi drivers are a danger to me.

Obviously not, I can not take the attitude of Mrs. Norma, I can not be like my mother who walks worried that I take a taxi, I can not be one who believes that all passengers are thieves or that all taxi drivers are thieves.

Dona Norma's refusal to not to give the mango juice that she did for her son and for the "known clients" it motivated me to write this little note where rectify, ratify and extend certain things:

1. Complaints against taxi drivers not mean that we believe all taxi drivers are like those who were involved. No. That's what I made it very clear in the previous article. It is not fair that taxi drivers like Don Raul and others who are honest and honest with their work, pay for what some of his colleagues do.

2. Now, on the passenger side, not all passengers are thieves, QR6 (passenger suspicious.) The fact that a group of 4 friends get into a taxi and for any reason request a route change does not mean that Mr. conductor believe will be the victim of a theft.

3. Mistakenly my mom, and hundreds of other people, go paranoid and this paranoia and distrust all that is feeding the problem. If passengers do not trust the driver and he does not trust its passengers are lost.

Given this what we seek to justify is that at no time, the citizens who are outraged with what happened last week, we consider the taxi drivers as a plague or a danger to society, of course not. Seek is that they provide a public service I provide an efficient way, where taxi drivers work, affiliates, district administration and passenger each have their labor.
Respect between driver and passenger, the driver the right to receive payment of service and passenger to see you complain about bad service was rendered or presented irregularities in it. If I'm paying
because I was carrying and, ultimately, my money is that which holds that business, the least that I demand than take me to the place you need to safely and fast (if possible given the state of immobility and insecurity of our city), is that if this is not met and if for any reason, the driver in bad faith and wishing to take advantage of prices, to take other routes without my consent, etc. for I can complain and companies are obliged to meet these demands, it is your duty.

is why autoinvito me and I invite you to:
1. Do not start now wary of all taxis, but do not hesitate to point out when there are abuses. We as users in our right to complain and to demand good service in a respectful manner. (I recommend to visit this site: www.denunciealtaxista.com ).

2. And if you are a driver or as Doña Norma, who passes the ball to distrust the passenger, it does not. Just as we will not consider them all as bad drivers and potential perpetrators of theft, because you do not take action as unworthy of his colleagues took. It is never the solution .

3. Bogotá is a victim of insecurity but despite this, we must not let the paranoia, that all that encourages a greater insecurity.
Having said this, I hope Mrs. Norma invite me again mango juice to take my mother back and take a taxi without problem. Just as she solves this and other everyday problems get bigger, "do not tell my mother to use public transport" .

PARISH ANNOUNCEMENTS:
I think that this blog has done many times emphasized this, but I repeat: This is a blog for ordinary people for ordinary people, we write to those who endure endless traffic jams for those who must endure groped on buses and hours until your Transmilenio come to those who mark the taxi meter units more strangely. We do it just to create a space discussion, a place where ideas and arguments, we discuss these issues of mobility and latest achievements acrescentar solutions instead of problems. All opinions are welcome, and here, though I is criminally and "can not stand the sight of" the Polo Democrático, does not mean accepting certain ideas of the party as valid and even support. And also not not be able to do or not have Peñalosa and his criticism of management, but that's another debate that concerns us here is not treated.

Although it is a blog focused on issues that occur in Bogotá, never too late for people from other cities in Colombia and even other countries, we visit, read, discuss, think and propose, which would be quite useful and enriching for all. Andrés Pérez

Nice Cities In Humboldt County

: chibcha version

I think this situation overflowed the glass. After years of lousy service, no show or a minimum of civility and knowledge management, to threaten the city with their strikes, the taxi drivers hit bottom.

know there are excellent conductors, honest people working to bring something to support his family and, as some drivers I've been told to allow their children to go to a university to make do what they could not for various reasons.
But here I will consider Don Raúl or Don Sergio, my trusted driver, no. This is an open criticism, an expression of indignation that causes me, and I think all of you, the situation that occurred yesterday. The video attached to this little letter proves it.

What country in the world, what place you deign to be civilized, a passenger assaulted him this way? Do the citizens we have revealed and caught fists, fist and stick the driver to "muñequea" his meter, which takes us over, so with the other way? Have we ever complained that Mr driver coincidentally where we will not and refuses to make the race?


CityTv.com.co Taken

It is time that the district administration "put into shape" for the taxis, adjust as should review its fees and meters, forcing companies to take legal fleet of taxis and that is customer service, complying with his work as that of transporting a person where it required. That the union undertakes for his own safety, to assist the Secretary of Transportation to take a census of legal taxis and stop the constant gemeleo plate or card operation, which leads to crime, using the identification of a taxi legal, commit from simple abuse of overcharging to the famous seaside millionaire. Still, I feel that I'm constantly made millionaire taxi ride, when Mr. conductor, in advance, I know he has altered his meter.

But again, the citizen is helpless before these gentlemen, they act like a gang, like a horde of wolves ready to unite and attack those who mess with one of them. Oh what a crash with a taxi driver! To see how, in less than 5 minutes that the operator promises that there will be a taxi order, we have one surrounded by four or five cars, to "negotiate" a way out of the incident.
It is necessary that these gentlemen are drivers really know more than the particular driver the traffic laws. Set an example on roads, to organize for real.

yesterday's situation may have two visions. Indeed these passengers could be trying to rob the driver, or otherwise-and that is what I am inclined, "disagreed with the price of the race, refused (within their rights) to pay that price and this lord had no best idea to call their peers and like any vile gang of which abound in our city, so attacking the passengers.

never justified for the community to take the law into their hands, despite the lack of effectiveness of our institutions, they exist and are the only ones that have the power to resolve conflicts that arise in these societies. We as citizens have to respect the laws, not only the country but also those that govern community life, those simple ethical standards of respect to the other, be primarily in a peaceful way to resolve the circumstances that enter into conflict.

However, the guild driver unknown these ethical principles. They, as a powerful manipulator of mayors via sponsorship to their campaigns, they believe they own everything, anarchy prevails. And try to impose order only ends in arrest or actual threats, as has occurred, blocking the transport of this city by those gentlemen.

A call to the Secretary of Transportation, for the remainder of District Administration, within the reorganization of transport in the capital, taxis and public service also deserve attention, we must organize, the fact that companies are not grouped in enough, or card operation easily tampered with, or the famous meter that in certain parts of the capital can be altered so that in less meters or seconds add more units to the race.

other hand, and to complete, you go and pay a higher denomination bill, the simple role of twenty thousand or fifty thousand dollars, can sometimes become "Llorente vase" that will guarantee you, from a small discussion until, in the worst case, what happened to the two people in the video. Or the guy with the promise to bring around not return anymore.

are many facts, citizen complaints, reports showing every day how this powerful union and City Hall is currently under control, reminding election endorsements or threatening with strikes, makes the anarchy in the capital's public transport is growing and unfortunately indestronable.
PS: anyway I recognize that there is a group, but there is little, honest taxi drivers, workers, people working and humble as we are indignant that the majority of his colleagues leave the guild too badly. Andrés Pérez

Something Of Value In 200 Years

The good, the bad and the ugly of 2010 and 2011

And he says, the mayor: "I left talk, especially black workers, no work ready and I in Miami (acompáñese the pace of the 50 de Joselito).

So. We ended 2010 and Samuel went for a walk. The man was traveling to Miami, probably because they are not enduring another day in this city. But is it perhaps, what Colombians, carachas are enduring this mess? Surely the man in the picture below, traveling first class from Miami to Bogota, no.

Well, now seriously, going on, I am about to make a brief summary of what we left in 2010 - is there anything left? - and what comes in 2011, or more years usual, on mobility. Source: what my eyes see and read.

Well, in 2010 and as people always prefer the bad first. What we have left? Sami leaves us:

a) The backbone of the 26 TM in a state even more deplorable than that of 2009. During 2010, the works were abandoned, thrown to the fate of the contractor to spend more chop and never had the slightest progress that citizens could perceive. The states to head the list because thanks to this megaprojects (in black work), at least began to uncover the whole rotten pot hiring carousel and so, finally had the citizens with information which lie down to sleep peacefully, knowing that the proceedings against the brothers bobolitro Moreno and eventually, at least in a few decades.
b) TM The backbone of the 10 , which had a similar progress, if not identical, to that of his cousin, 26. So, Nule. Null. For I testify to that special memory of a very judiciously prepared El Espectador, collecting data on the progress of the works of Transmilenio, on specific aspects such as adequacy of public space, construction of the stations, driveways for articulated, recovery of green areas, etc. And in that brief, very well done indeed, in almost all the works of the stem could be unimaginable, ironically the most laughable: we are the only city where the works in a given month are about 30% complete at 3 months, 15%, and 6 months again a figure close to 30% . I wonder, as a simple rational human being, based on common sense, how well will they build and then disrupt the seasons? "They plant trees and then tear? "They lead pipes and wiring and then break them? Do they make and then break the slabs of the driveway? Really, someone explain it to me. As a simple rational human being, I need to know.
c) Over 200 full and partial blocks in the trunk Transmilenio semi-functional, apparently organized in most cases by the same group of agitators, whose sole purpose, apparently, is to disrupt the system and generate tons of negative reviews. Not perfect, but I would not uncommon for metro-utopia promoters were behind this, to justify construction of the Pharaonic project that would leave Bogotá, literally, without a single weight for a couple of decades.
d) Apart from the poor and pordebajeado Transmitted we continue with a meter of paper . Than that yes, studies have cost us a great pocket pain the dwellers in the capital. But still we are still selling the idea that a trunk that has a layout almost carbon copy of MT, will solve the problems of mobility in the city, besides being self-sustaining, requiring minimal or subsidy. Are you serious?
e) the ajudicaron dubious 21 companies, which are tasked with managing the SITP from 2012, ie 2014 in the language of Samuel.
f) We are left with a city infarcted and clogged by buses and minibuses inefficient, polluting, an unnecessary and excessive amount of taxis, where legal holiday premium charged to the poor and of dubious origin led us to experience the very Bogota career suicide. Addition Our fleet of unstoppable growth continues to exhibit its best, most expensive and powerful individuals, at incredible speeds of around 15 km / h.

But there is also room for good! What was positive, in terms of mobility in 2010?

a) The metamorphosis Calle 100 and Carrera 15 perhaps only example of efficient construction and, despite traffic jams and detours caused obliged, showing significant progress. Quite an achievement not seen for years in Bogotá.
b) The most important achievement: not Transmilenio work began on the 7th Light . Powered also an initiative of the citizens themselves, showing that total, things can be achieved, albeit with much pressure and molestadera (if not otherwise) to the bodies responsible. This work adefecio that, go ahead, would cost the city 14 months, at least, more immobility in theory should begin work in February. I personally hope not. Remember also were made blind eye to the bike path, and also played on that side to push for some kind of solution. If only they had followed the original designs and plans of the proposed phases for years to Transmilenio, to bear the pains head that the work would cause. But with this design average elementary schooler, underground fault that exists only in the imagination of Sami, if all goes as it wants, badly, we will have another pseudo-solution to mass transit. Voilà

. I think there were only highlight. Now, happy 2011 to all of you readers hardcore mobility that is beginning in this great vividero! The new year arrived and with it the new good and bad again. Ugly goes first:

a) Christmas present, thanks to timely notice of our publisher @ elchanta_ ghost (have to follow to read the tweet), the new year greeted us with an increase in the price public transport of about 7%. That accounted for another hundred bucks to increase the fare of TransMilenio. Let's see, to get an idea of \u200b\u200bhow much is that, especially for those who read us from outside, with a round trip, ie 2 tickets ($ 3400) of TM, we can in an electric cheaper to pay a full meal, read soup, dry and juice. They are almost $ 2. And in a more raw and sad, but true, it's what entire families below the poverty line, just to feed during the day. Is it just a price for this ratio for average living standards, as having most of Bogota? And even dream of a fee to students or seniors.
b) We extend at least another 6 months (I suspect it will be more) the peak and 14 hours plate, which should be suppressed by decree in February this year, since in theory most of the works would be completed and mobility in the city would not be so chaotic. But the mayor, justified in trouble for the winter, rather than those caused by corruption, says that basically there is nothing to do and the measure must be maintained. Of course, after a week of spiritual retreat, "behind closed doors with his staff, advised by international experts. What is not I know exactly what types of experts are and what they were teaching. I do not want to know.
c) started the year as a city lack of solutions to mobility problems . The mayor is blinded by the idea that only the board can pick and solve all problems. Ironically, I say from personal experience, the biggest traffic jams are between 6 and 9 am and 5 to 8 pm, peak hours and plaque. Incredibly, after 8pm, sacredly as if by magic begins to decrease traffic jams in several parts of the city and the situation is not so critical. Something will have to see the talk of the contracts to be lost, but as art mafia.

But let's not panic, there is good news! Midway through the first month of the year we can recover the following:

a) The Nueva Granada Military University in an agreement with Turistren , which operates the train from Savannah, enables its students are transported to the Cajicá new campus, thanks to the subsidy granted by this alma mater. A good way to save a few bucks for students, they will anyway have to be adjusted at fixed times of the train. In the morning start at 5:30 am, and again in the afternoon Monday through Wednesday at 5pm and Thursdays and Fridays at 4pm.
b) bridges Street roundabout 100 with 15, to continue with the progress we are, we released before the year runs out.
c) A "mega tunnel" under the Race 10 at the 12th Street (in quotes because it was called, but no big deal), which will have an underground shopping area, and in theory will improve the problems mobility caused by the passage of hundreds of pedestrians constantly passing through this area, the gateway for trade in San Victorino and the other side, the historic city center, ministries, other businesses and universities that are located there.

This does not cover every corner and work of the city, but it seems to me the most remarkable. In other words the good, the bad and the ugly # bobolitro administration, which, with great joy, I start counting the days until the end. But this leaves me with mixed feelings, because as things stand, we have no idea what the hands will be our beloved capital coming years. I just hope that those of another character like this. Those are my best wishes for Bogota and all of you this New Year.

And as a bonus, on my blog forced disappearance is not for a good time here a couple of videos of the unique flavor of mobility and image-Bogota mayor's nod to the 2011 as saying "I came here and took me my talk, bye! "
