The bus they used at the carnival still had the 'metro' accessories stuck on this morning. I saw it travelling down 27 de Febrero, packed with passengers, at 7:30 this morning when I took my son to school.

Every time the gov spends money into Inespre and comedores publicos, the food ends up in the warehouses of speculators...

Every time the gov spends in housing, the units given to the poor end up sold months after to the highest bidder and the money spent soon after by the sellers renders the families homeless again...

Every time the gov spends in new schools and hardware for them, somebody steals every single piece not nailed to the floor and the building crumbles due to lack of maintenance…

Once the current administrations goes with the cycle, the Metro will stay put unless we have a privateer open a new line for profit buying these at black-market prices...

So... We have something for the billions spent! It may not last long, but we have a metro! And add the youngest and most modern on this side of the world, including the USA...
What makes you think the metro is immune to the above.
