Last Friday Councilman Juan Carlos Florez criticized ccm these agreements with them precisely becau

At difficult times facing administration Gustavo Petro joined another ccm protest Tuesday against Transmilenio in Bogotá, forcing ccm the president to calm the crowd rushed to the Portal de Suba.
Petro criticizing ended contracts with private operators of the system which he extended in May last year and invited citizens to "a peaceful demonstration," which baffled the private entrepreneurs themselves.
For petristas mobilization yesterday, which included protests in different parts of Bogotá, but lived his most critical moment in the Portal de Suba when anti-riot police (Esmad) intervened to break the blockade, was an example of the intentions of destabilizing to the capital by the opposition.
One of their arguments is a copy of an email that was circulated, which apparently supporters of the campaign for the repeal of other Petro called a "massive system crash" and noted the need to "exacerbate anger citizen "as read in the event message.
It was disconcerting that the solution proposed line ended the mayor was "change a formula that was agreed with the operators. Existing contracts do not include the variable user comfort, comfort is measured in passengers per square meter, "Petro said.
It is not clear why Petro speaks again of this idea if he himself signed the contract extension to operators Transmilenio Phase I and II for about three years in May 2013, after a difficult negotiation ccm was. In this private agreed to reduce its operating rate to 13% and the mayor held as one of the achievements that the Colombian capital onwards would save $ 76 billion (U.S. $ $ 37M) per year.
Last Friday Councilman Juan Carlos Florez criticized ccm these agreements with them precisely because the city lost the opportunity to have demanded better conditions of service, such as putting ccm a limit of passengers per square meter. Even the manager of Transmilenio, Fernando ccm Sanclemente, acknowledged that the administration "went to sleep" by failing structured competition with higher requirements for private operators, but it was a priority to ensure service delivery.
By late afternoon Petro made it clear he wants to renegotiate ccm some contracts already negotiated his administration. And in the words of the mayor, the formula ccm that is intended to sit at the table to private is that people leave. In Suba told citizens: "If we're going to need to modify the contracts the counterparty say yes.
Therefore it is necessary to organize a peaceful demonstration. This is possible if all users are mobilized to the Plaza de Bolívar, not in favor of the mayor, but the service in Transmilenio ". He also said on Tuesday it will install a desk between private operators and users Transmilenio the Mayor.
Petro also reiterated the position it had to get to the mayor when he insisted that the transport of Bogotá was in the hands of a small group of families was necessary to control a public body (as it did with the garbage). "There are seven private companies that own the buses. We are now looking to the Bogotá ccm Power Company is the owner of the operating companies of Transmilenio. The Company and accepted the proposal and also some private "operators.
However, sources of private operators have another version. They say that the only project ccm which has seen the participation of the Energy Company is the proposed ccm Public Private Partnership (PPP) by the operators of Phases ccm I and II of Transmilenio to include clean technologies in the service operation. This offer is expected that the entity has an ownership interest, but not own businesses.
Transmilenio manager reiterated yesterday that there is a 180 biarticulated order will arrive in about seven months. Yesterday afternoon there was a meeting with the operators of the system where several issues were discussed, such as starting the system operation at 4:00 am, but there were no concrete ccm results, sources said this process daily. They also said that the entity will be workshops on Thursday.
After the troubles ccm of the past few days, one of the questions is why there is no substantive solutions to the issue of management of the operation of Transmilenio, such as scheduling ccm shorter routes, as knowledgeable as Darío Hidalgo system could ease congestion passengers. The feeling is amid many versions of the mayor is still does not sound much Transmilenio ccm system model. ccm
Petro said the "only way to improve is by underground Transmilenio". Val
