I like Transantiago very much. I think that in general it's very much better than the previous system. In first place buses are cleaner and safer than the "yellow micros". The pay system (BIP) is more confortable because I don't have to carry coins with me and it's better planned (I love to plan everything!). In second place, I like the idea of combining metro and buses; it's more dynamic. In other hand there are too many people packed inside the buses and I can't find seats to read in my trip. There has been changes in the Transantiago; at the beginning there fewer buses, and less information than now. But, nowaday I think that the system works very good.
I know that my positive opinion about Transantiago it's because I don't have to use it in the "peak hour" and I don't have to do long trips. I think that for other people it could have been worst than the previous system.
To improve the system I would change the number of buses between lines because there are some that have to many buses and others much less than what they should.
