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! "
