Missing Osorno

Well transantiago…. It´s the only way I can travel from my home to the university and back home here in Santiago but it wasn´t always like that....
I´m not natural from Santiago so actually I haven´t got much idea about how transantiago has improved or make worse the public transport here, and of course I haven´t got any experiences to compare.
In Osorno is completely different, transantiago doesn´t exist and all the problems from it are like nightmares from other person. Of course we haven´t got any “Bip” or things like that and the students still have got the problem from “el pase” with the bus drivers. The good thing is that Osorno is a small city and you can walk from one way to the other in less than an hour, for example it took me only 5 minutes to go from my school to downtown, ten minutes to go from my home to my school and 30 minutes to go from school to my grandma´s home. Actually I didn´t use to take the bus, because I preferred to walk from one point to the other. Other´s kind of public transport that u can take in Osorno are taxi and “colectivos”. The colectivos are taxis that have a fixe route and stop in any point of it. When I didn´t walk I usually took a colectivo because it used to cost only 50 pesos more than the bus (I think that now days the difference is bigger), it was faster and comfortable.
I really wish Santiago were like Osorno in that way… I mean if I could walk within minutes from the university to home and then to downtown I would be really but really happy (Who wouldn´t be???)
But well it isn´t like that and Santiago has got other good things.
