Topic of the day: Public Transport.

Public transport in Venezuela, mainly in large cities, has always been made up of buses / minibuses, taxis and, in the case of Caracas, as a major capital, by a subway that has been in operation since the 1980s; other cities such as Valencia and Maracaibo also have a subway; but, a little more reduced. In general terms, public transport has been supported mainly in the following two types of units:

In Venezuela we name them: "Busetas"

And the traditional buses:

We can say that these two types of units have been our great allies in public transport.

But, now, within this Socialist regime of the XXI Century that governs us, the busetas and buses have been replaced by trucks of animal load, vehicle of transport of sand and even refrigeration trucks and many other modalities of transport. Please observe the following examples:

Yes! vehicles that are used in the transport of animals are now also used to transport Venezuelans.

The lack of buses and minibuses forces people to move in any type of transport.

In short, the replacement of traditional public transport by vehicles unfit for the transport of human beings, has created a rupture in our degree of civilization; which, has undermined the physical and moral integrity of the Venezuelan.

Why is this critical situation reached, in which the availability of transport units in our country has been reduced between 60% and 80%?

The short and direct response is associated with: the high maintenance costs, the decrease in the import of spare parts, a catastrophic hyperinflation and the shortage of cash ... that is what they have to the transport system of Venezuela in disappearance, while the population suffers the effects of this crisis with long waiting times to move.

Transport organizations in Caracas, indicate that in this city, of a total of 15,000 units that were available, at this time only have about 4,000 units; and this is basically due to the lack of spare parts and the high costs of motor oils, rubbers and in general, of all spare parts.

Of course, as an immediate consequence, Venezuelans make long journeys on foot or have to make long lines to reach a bus that moves them within urban centers due to the low supply of transport units that public and private systems have. from the country.

The passengers run long distances to see if they can board the transport units.

And if in the city of Caracas, the Subway is paralyzed by failures of maintenance or simply presents an electrical fault (by the way, another feature of Socialism of the XXI Century), then there is total chaos in the city:

By the way, the Caracas Subway is also gets stuck during the peak hours of the day:

And I forgot to point out the great risk posed by being a passenger in a public transport unit in the Socialist Venezuela: the delinquency, to which, the government does not put a stop to it:

Very common thefts in public transport

These are only a few images so you can visualize the great catastrophe experienced in a socialist revolution.

Our main objective is that those people who are thinking of adopting a form of socialist government, reflect and can rectify their course.

Please, be attentive to the next issue.

PS: Remember that we are in hyperinflation and every minute prices increase.
