Once again I grow even more disappointed of the public transport in my country. Does it still confounds me how local authorities are unable to put a stop to these delinquents. For ever twenty years have Lima citizens have suffered discomfort and abuse from the hands of bus drivers and ticket collectors.
Is it indeed intolerable what they do. These people go from overcharging the passengers to speeding up every time someone gets on the bus so they fall. Not to mention the fact that they overfill the busses with people mostly at rush hour. To say nothing of the fact that their units are as old as from the 80s. What do they get in exchange for their bad behaviour. Well, at most they would get chided a few times by the police or gat a few tickets.
The number of people being run over by these bastards, and the number of rules they infringe go up every day. Albeit, is it imperative for us citizens not to bring ourselves down to their level each time something happens. Taking a respite from the hellish service they provide is pure gold. What about going against the grain and filing a complaint at the police station if you happen to see an injustice committed by these law breakers?. Well, most times trying to do that is like beating a dead horse. Unless a really serious case presents itself.
In review, we Peruvians were not born with a silver spoon in our mouths. Even though, the public transport system has improve a bit with the implementation of a train that goes from north to south and vice versa, a set of new buses that cover a small area, and a few more things, there is yet a lot of work to do so as to get back to having the good service Peru once had on its halcyon days.
