Hands Turn Red After Eating



some time ago, in the city of Posadas, was launched integrated transport system urban. This system consists of three integrated terminal stations, where it brings together all the feeder lines, namely small groups usually yellow and green. Then from there come the collective core, the biggest double jointed, ranging towards the center lanes and streets of downtown certain Posadas.

The first of the three terminals called Posadas integration Campus UNAM, for being near the National University Mission, and articulates the transport corridor for the south of the capital, which includes 60 percent of the passengers. This brings together the collective terminal feeders, green, including those from the municipalities of Garupá and Candelaria. The passenger goes to the heart of Posadas making the green in your neighborhood that leads to the terminal of integration there, without paying new ticket, take one of the buses that go downtown. These vehicles, trunks, yellow, are larger than the feed, among them there are six double articulated units with a capacity of 150 passengers and air conditioning.

This system represents a series of benefits to passengers when compared to the old system of transport, which was chaos. Since each neighborhood had its own line of bus going towards the center, representing a traffic jam on almost every street in the downtown, in total about 30, now circulating in 6 blocks, which lightens the traffic.
can also increase the average speed of the groups, if used to go to 8 miles per hour, now can lift in certain avenues, up to 20 km per hour.



At first, I remember, that the implementation of the system was a real problem. Because people are not used to change lines, which had trouble memorizing lines going to certain places, plus the routes were changed, stops in for a series of changes that were installed in Posadas citizenship. But that did not cost much, (I think) because as you know all change is always towards the benefit of people.
In this sense we can say that Posadas, resembles Curitiba Brazil, since the system is the same as applies in the city and that success is more than 30 years.

For those familiar with the integrated and commuters, What do you think deserves this new system? Do you agree or disagree?
