Dear Sindy...

I am writing to you from the beautiful city of Sao Paulo - Brazil. I arrive recently, and I am surprised to see the streets of Sao Paulo because they are very different from the streets of Bogota.
To start, in Sao Paulo the transport system is very organized, and this mainly the subway, organized by the State, and the bus, organized by SPTrans companies.

The bus routes are organized. The bus you can pay in cash, you only have to pay $ 2.30 Brazilian real. Or you can buy the "single ticket," something like a credit card.
The subway in Sao Paulo, has few lines because the network is small, but if you go to the subway, you have to pay $ 2.30 Brazilian real and you can change the line as many times as you want.

The streets and avenues are very wide, and have no holes. Sao Paulo has avenues or "Rodovia" as say here. Some are Rodovia President Dutra, Rodovia Anchieta and Rodovia Anhanguera. The transport system has more than thirty thousand taxis, fifteen thousand buses, more than five thousand five hundred intersections of traffic lights, more than six million cars.

In Bogota's transport system is a little different. We have 24,800 buses for urban transport, but have not fully organized routes. And the Transmilenio is similar to the subway in Sao Paulo, which works only with buses. The cost of the Transmilenio is 1300 and 1500 colombian pesos, depending on the station. The buses are cheaper, you have to pay between $1000 and $1250 colombian pesos, depends on the bus. Of course you can talk to the driver and maybe he give you a low price

My friend, I hope to see you soon when I get back to these wonderful vacations.

With Love…
Monica.
