It used to take only some months during the winter, as the air is not so humid. As the traffic problem started to get more serious they decided to keep it, but now due to the traffic, not to the air pollution.<BR/><BR/>The problem is, the public transportation system is too crowded, expensive (about 1,20 U$, one way) and small (if we would think of subway lines). At that price you can run about 12 Km with a car using Alcohol fuel (and no crowd or walking and stuff like that).<BR/><BR/>I use public transport everyday and it's really hard to do it at peak. It's time to improve the transportation quality and efficiency, so that it will be worth it to choose for it instead of using our cars.<BR/><BR/>Another important fact, and sorry for writing so much, is that living in a big city as São Paulo makes us forget about the others... we don't know who our neighbors are, what they do and where do they go everyday. If they use a car or not. It's perfectly possible that if we knew better our neighbors and colleagues, if we had a better social life here in São Paulo, a lot of cars could be out of the streets.<BR/><BR/><BR/>DaniAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
