Santiago Metro

I’ve always been a big fan of the Santiago metro.  It get you most of the places you want to go – especially if you are a tourist – it’s clean, it’s pretty cheap and efficient.   OK – it gets bloody crowded during peak hour, but then which public transport system doesn’t suffer under these circumstances.

The main problem is during summer – especially on Line 1 (the main line) – where they really struggle to keep it cool.   Love their “solution” for the platforms – spray mist over passengers 🙂
