Translation Belorizontês > English: Do you know if that bus goes to Savassi?
You know, it doesn't go that far, but wouldn't it be nice if it did? Looking with some good will we can almost see it in front of the Belo Horizonte's Municipal Park at Afonso Pena Avenue, can't we?
If there's one thing that I really like about Vancouver is the public transportation. Bus, SeaBus and SkyTrain. I wish I could take some Translink's traffic engineers, send the poor bastards to Sao Paulo and say: let's see if you guys are that good. Not only to SP, but any major city em Brazil, such as Rio, BH and Brasilia. But you see, to send them to Sao Paulo would be the ultimate prank - Sao Paulo's traffic jam is around 160 to 200 km every day - and this is a let's-make-fun-of-Canadians blog, even when we recognize a ob well done.
But the fact is, the public transportation system works. Even when it "doesn't", at a spoiled Canadian point of view, it does: "Oh my God! Where is this f**king bus! It's two minutes late!" - said the disbelieving Canadian. "Only two?!" - answer loudly the also disbelieving Brazilian.
P.S.: The one in the photo is te one a take everyday to school: 16 - Arbutus > 29th Avenue Station.
