You are right we still have a quite decent system here if you compare to many cities in Latin America or even North America.

The main problem now, as I mentioned is that this system is collapsing, especially security-wize, I wouldn’t want to get on those 24 hr colectivos at 3 am or 4 am, its just not a smart move! and your personal intergrity can be jeopardized.

Metrobus as a BRT system with stations is really improving that, but still there’s a long way to go to actually retrofit the colectivos system in this city. For now the BRT is limited and still there are places that you should think twice if you want to board a bus late in the night.

Coming from our limited system to that of Buenos Aires, I loved the 24 hr colectivos that took me anywhere, even in spite of the long lines and many problems you outlined. I hope the politicians in both our cities take note. Saludos desde Indianapolis and looking forward to reading more from you.

I look forward to reading your next blog!
