The best way to travel in Santiago

Travel nowadays in Santiago is faster than a couple of centuries ago, when we had only buses which people had to wait at least 3 hours to get one,considering that they went past twice in the day.

Today the situation is totally different.There are many kind of transports which are within reach of all.The main way of transport is the subway that has expanded along Santiago.In each district we had it.Some people arrive to the subway station walking or taking a bus.So it's very accessible to anyone.The price of the ticket is moderate it's within 400 pesos and for students 130 pesos.

Despite, some problems with the speed and continuity of them,it is the best way of travel to any place in a short period of time.
However it is not the only way to travel in Chile.Also, there are trains situated in Estacion Mapocho which leave to far places or cities from Santiago for example Rancagua ,ViƱa del Mar,Valparaiso.It is faster than go by car and cheaper than go by plane.

To conclude,as I said at the beginning the subway despite to be uncomfortable because of the huge quantity of people who use it every day and the long rows that they have to make,it's fasther and cheaper than others ways of transport.This takes you wherever you want to go.

  1. I couldn't agree with you more. I believe that the subway in Santiago is only going to get better.
    Good, clear composition. You've organised it well using linking phrases and supported your ideas with examples.

    commune = district
