transport

Canada - Colombia


In Canada the most used means of transport are the big buses, which make her stop at each station, in a certain place in the city, each person buys his ticket and the bus limps corresponding to the address you want to go. There are also taxis that stop at any place you plan on passengers. Almost works like Colombia, taxis with minimum rate, companies that control it and that gives them permits the government to drive public transportation as drivers. Bogota buses operate in large, that environment is called Transmilenio, with timetables, routes and stations at various sites in the city. In Canada and in Colombia there are buses that take you from one city to another, and your rate is higher depending on the distance that they want to travel, with major airports in major cities, the largest in Canada was in Ottawa and in Colombia in Bogota. In Colombia, unlike Canada operate small buses that stop in the city where the person you want, anywhere in the streets and in Canada that does not work but only in the French stations.
