"Public Transportation: A Citizen Right, A State Duty"
Via cosmopista.com
This text in the post title above is painted as a small logo on every single bus in São Paulo, Brazil. Politicians in developed countries (US too) could use some inspiration. This article (in Portuguese) discusses, among other things, Brazilian infrastructure investment gaps in the nineties, and how the São Paulo State is catching up to provide adequate transit to its residents.
For background, public transit in the São Paulo region is made of two elements:
- Rail (Metrô + CPTM), run by the São Paulo State.
- Bus (Ônibus): local buses run by the city of São Paulo, and regional buses run by a conglomerate of several regional operators (EMTU).
