A Nice Trip
When you visit Medellin,
Colombia, the best way to be transported around the city is by using the Metro
System. The Metro system in Medellin is one of the most famous and organized Systems
in Latin America. The Metro is the only rea-base mass transportation service,
and it doesn’t contaminate because it uses electrical technology. It is clean,
big above ground and usually the passengers follow the rules and manners. The
metro has two basic lines, the red line and blue line, beside there are also
two metro cable lines attached to the metro line as well. You can get a Metro
card. That really saves you a lot of time and money. A single ride cost $1USD
and there is no additional cost to transfer between lines. When you use a Metro
card your line to enter the system is shorter than the line for the other
passengers. Since 2005, The Metro System chose groups of young high school
graduates, who are leaders in their communities, to train them in Metro Culture
for one year. This ´program allows young people to receive training on rules of
etiquette, service quality, language and communication about the Metro Culture.
This experience is shared with other members of the community to make a ride in
Metro a good experience. Many of the rules are followed by Metro users. Some of
those rules are: don’t smoke on the train, don’t letter, don’t speak loudly and
give your seat to elderly, pregnant women and women with children. Traveling on
the Metro is generally very safe, be extra careful with to follow the rules and
you’ll enjoy your trip.
