Private transportation against public transport (Readers have their say)
Today you are in a position to buy a new vehicle that costs 150 thousand pesos. The holding and other formalities another ten thousand pesos. Add in insurance for your new car. If you're smart, buy a car that is not in the list of most stolen in Mexico (some Nissan and VW leading the list) and thereby reduce insurance premiums. The total so far: 165 thousand pesos.

Your new vehicle gasoline works very well with Magna, eight pesos a liter. If you pay for servicing two thousand dollars a year, costs that can add to the eight thousand dollars to spend in the thousand liters that will serve to cover the first ten thousand miles. At current prices, that equates to a cost of ten thousand dollars annually in fuel and services, and payments holdings, plate endorsements, checks, an occasional penalty for traffic infractions, that will add another ten thousand a year. Say your car survives six years in good condition and does go hundred thousand kilometers. There are already 120 thousand dollars from fines, services and fuel, which added to the 165 000 initial weights give a total of 285 thousand pesos for the first hundred thousand kilometers, equivalent to 47.500 pesos annually.
You do not pay parking while at work, no accidents involving pay the insurance deductible, nor will it attachments and goodies to your vehicle. If they do, incur additional costs. How much kilometer came out? Almost three dollars per kilometer. How many of those hundred thousand kilometers on the road you would travel from one city to another? The broad avenues and transfers relatively fast (40 mph average) do not amount to road trips.
What if we compare the costs of transportation in a private vehicle with the cost of shipments by foot, bicycle, public transport? Are your shoes so expensive that every mile I walk in they will cost three dollars or more? How far can go with normal tires and a bicycle team of six thousand dollars? Do you think the bike would end within two thousand miles (if that gives the proper maintenance)? How many Travel makes a regular user of public transport to those that cost 285 000 pesos their hypothetical transfers for six years? The price of public transport are 47.500 Guadalajara travel. Even if the person is transported by public transport had to address four different buses a day, it would mean the equivalent of 11.875 days to move. Including Saturdays and Sundays, just over 32 years.
Is it worth "investing" in a road vehicle to be used primarily in the city? Would not it be wise to invest in public transport? Stated another way: why, whom we move into the cities, we chose spend our money on buying a private car rather than push to improve public transport? How many users of private vehicles over the years we wasted, through the politicians who represent us to spend our money in taxes, private vehicles, the local councils and taxpayers, our time and air we breathe, to push for wider streets in the fit more and more fast cars, in which there are fewer trees and where there are so many fatalities from collisions between the vehicles and between them and pedestrians dare to approach roads and not so much?
Why are we encouraging the confrontation between blade against skin and do not promote the use of alternative methods for average distances in urban transportation? On the other hand, what happens to our regional transportation system, instead of having trains between relatively close cities (eg Tepatitlán Guadalajara, Aguascalientes and Leon) still resort to expensive highway system "quota" in which all cooperate to bottle or accident and pay to use a surface with our own vehicles for those who already pay many other costs?
How occupying areas the streets, increasingly large, and roads, more and more lethal, we consume living spaces, green areas, leisure or even work? What is the logic of change vehicles every few years or to repay kilometers, from the beginning, many costs and the desire to retain the manufacturer's warranty and contribute to additional taxes on basic costs of maintaining a vehicle working? What keeps apart from official policies to promote the purchase and sale of new cars all of which are foreign brands, which users of the cities we transport users and supplemented with public transportation by bicycle and on foot? Are we what prevents our belief that the vehicle more powerful, more shiny, more equipped, more powerful will also make our egos and our personal qualities most attractive? Do not use public transport and alternative means because we hate sweat and prefer to spend our time and money to repair the damage we cause more global warming and generating more heat in our environment?
bet "that logic the governor, the proposal to build an exclusive road cars to charge them to go? Are you willing to add the costs of moving from one place to another, that of a toll for crossing the city from south to north and vice versa?

Where Purchase Mace At In Columbus
370.000 kms
are just the equivalent of 9.35 times around the earth by Ecuador. Surely any executive / registered traveler programs-miles has already obtained and collected this amount of miles (converted to miles: 229.956) more than once. Assuming that each kilometer consume a tenth of a liter of gasoline, are just 37.000 liters of gasoline. If we consider that the gas tank of a VW Sedan contains exactly 10 gallons (37.85 liters), equivalent to 977.54 full tanks. That is, assuming the same yield of miles per gallon, these 370 thousand miles is not even a thousand tanks full, then the number of liters should be enough to 378500 kms.
To cover the amount of 3 million 700 thousand hundred yards to my shopping VW Sedan 1977 model and I, it has taken just 32 years, 8 months and 23 days. The current cost of $ 8 pesos per liter of gasoline, this means that only fuel consumption, this has meant an expenditure of $ 296.000 pesos, under the assumption of 10 kms traveled per gallon of gasoline consumed. Suppose
I have always been punctual and I have changed the 3 liters of oil that corresponds to change the engine every 3mil miles. This would be very easy on the mathematics of the German engineers who followed in the footsteps of Don Ferdinand Porsche and his original design in the thirties, to a quart per thousand miles driven. Ie, 370 liters of oil consumed in less than 33 years. Change, to celebrate such a closed figure (which looks at the phone number of a company that really exists in my hometown Guadalajara), another 3 liters of oil and the age of 33, reminiscent of ice cream flavors Laguense me an ice cream shop childhood, but also the degree of Masonry, we will have consumed 373 liters of oil, current price of $ 14 pesos per liter. Ie: $ 5.222 pesos.
After considering that spending on basic fluids for a VW sedan can be added to the aggregate amount of $ 301, 522 pesos, the amount in pesos which cost the car in 1977 ($ 83.700), plus some other "details" as the two glass broken in its history ($ 30 and $ 60 pesos in their time - I do not know the actual price will have a fin and a front window) as well as rubbers different, fenders, covers the trunk and engine, batteries, lights, running boards, successive stereo and speakers, a set of seats and 4 games Tire (4-change tires every 80.000 km), a pearl gray repainted and completely painted in silver, in addition to many services tuning, balancing, alignment, brake adjustments. At $ 385.222 let us add an estimated $ 114.778 pesos in multiple services and goodies. They are "only" half a million pesos. Let's add 10 years of tax for the use and possession of automobiles ($ 300 pesos each year, with more paid between 1977 and 1986) and other taxes, for endorsement of plates and those weights which contributed to the treasury to spend a high of traffic light, take a walk forbidden, exceed speed limits or station where I felt like it: say, do other $ 100.000 pesos?
"I can say that, almost 33 years later - I have a vehicle equivalent to $ 600,000 pesos which cost me transport myself to and fro in my town Guadalajara and between San Francisco, California, Mexico City and Xalapa, Veracruz (the farthest reaches of geography that has been touring the poblano product purchased in the seventies)? If a picture that initially cost a little over 80 thousand dollars ends up costing so much ($ 600 thousand) in a few kilometers, which do not even reach the ten laps of the planet, is it worth buying one for the same price in current dollars?
Apart from the obvious differences of a VW sedan (a model that was used both on the road in the seventies and eighties and part of the nineties) compared to vehicles equipped and suitable for travel by wagon roads that do not circulate and very few wagons and VW sedan, what are the advantages in security and services in urban transport? Is it worth "investing" in a road vehicle to be used primarily in the city? Would not it be wiser to "invest" in public transport? How many trips can be done with that $ 600 000 pesos in my town from Guadalajara? Assuming the current price of $ 6 pesos per trip, the thing is easily calculated (it is even easier than the mathematics of German engineers put a gas tank of 10 gallons n the sedan). 600,000 / 6 = 100,000 trips ...
Stated another way: why, whom we move into our cities, we chose to spend our money on buying a private car rather than push to improve public transport? How many users of private vehicles, over 10, 20, 30 or 35 years we have wasted - by politicians who represent us to spend the taxes - our money, local councils and taxpayers our time and the air we breathe, to push for wider streets in the fit more and more fast cars, in which there are fewer trees and where there are so many fatalities from collisions between the vehicles and between and pedestrians who dare to approach the roads and not so much?
Why are we encouraging the confrontation between blade against skin and is not sufficiently promote the use of alternative methods for average distances in urban transport? What about our regional transportation system, instead of having trains between relatively close cities (eg Tepatitlán Guadalajara, hence San Juan de los Lagos and Aguascalientes, Aguascalientes, Leon, Queretaro and then to the national capital) still resort to expensive highway system "share" in which all cooperate to bottle or accident and pay to use a surface with our own vehicles for those who already pay many other costs?
How surfaces occupying the streets (ever larger, and peripheral Gomez Morin relatively quickly or routes of Lazaro Cardenas and Lopez Mateos in Guadalajara) and roads, more and more lethal, we are consuming space cohabitation, amenity, recreation and even work? What is the logic of change vehicles every few years or to repay kilometers, from the beginning, many costs and the desire to retain the manufacturer's warranty and contribute to additional taxes on basic costs of maintaining a vehicle working? What keeps apart from official policies to promote the purchase and sale of new cars all of which are foreign brands, which users of the cities we are also public transport users and supplemented with transfers cycling and walking? Are we what prevents our belief that the most powerful vehicle, more shiny, more equipped, more powerful will also make our egos and our personal qualities most attractive? Do not use public transport and alternative means because we hate sweating and prefer to spend our time and money to repair the damage we cause more global warming and generating more heat in our village? Seen that the people of our country do not care and become obese, largely for not doing an activity as simple as walking, would have to find a way to solve the mystery of how to overcome the travails of glamorous and find solutions are attractive (and even sound "sexy") to burn less fossil fuels and cycle and walk more ...

THE THIRD ARMY: sending my colleague and friend Francisco Murra
I write with this short introduction message in the text that follows: "Some are not aware, but Mauricio Murra killed in the May shooting in Torreon was the son of Louis I brother and I share this reflection of a close friend of Mauritania, from every place we could do something for a change Rate. Murra Mr. Francisco Castillo "
I object to violence because when Although this seems to cause only temporary, the evil that is permanent "-Ghandi .-
recent months had not most important thing in my being to get ready to win in this convention, I practiced and studied very hard to give my best today and be awarded in this competition is amazing, even shocking, as life in an instant hard makes you a participant in and terrible events that transform and make you forever. Life through the subtle and tragic walk, makes a common morning wake up with a different reflection, a reflection lacerated sadly never be the same.
And all this because of the horrific events that occurred in my beautiful, but today kidnapped and terrorized, Torreon, Coahuila last weekend. Where a group of ruthless bandits mercilessly fired their bullets into a bar instantly stealing the lives of two soul mates with whom he had lived for over 15 years, and six other young people more. My brothers and other young people committed a terrible sin which condemned them to lose their lives, the sin of seeking a place to share a drink with a friend.
This pain that is drowning every fiber of my being, does not compare to the suffering that today inconsolable parents of my friends felt when receiving a call in the morning, which I sincerely hope friends from all over the republic, ever receive: the cold call from a hospital assistant asking to go to identify the body of her murdered son in a slaughter. What did not mean the law of life that the children heard their parents and not vice versa? What did not mean that these young people should enjoy the beauty and life experiences that have the over the years? Before his last breath, "my brothers never would have realized that would be called, who never marry and have family who would never know what is to come home and receive the warm embrace of a loving mother who waits and who lives and for them? Had they thought that their lives would become a number and a statistic?
One of my brothers killed Murra called Maurice, a young Bright, who, no doubt, foresaw a more than successful. He spent his entire life to study, work and family, I remember with nostalgia that he always carried in his right hand a bracelet that had the letters WWJD, which represent the abbreviation in English "What would Jesus do?" And whenever he was in difficult times is looking at his bracelet and prayed to Jesus Christ today continues to illuminate paths that bracelet, but not of it, but an inconsolable mother seeking prompt and arduous resignation. Mauricio
And many more, this war is threatening not only cops and criminals, but innocent, particularly youth, and with it not only takes away the peace and life of their parents, if not the hope of a future country estate in them, ie not only their lives but end up with proposals, ideas, art, dreams that Today more than ever the need XXI century Mexico.
Friends, we are aware that neither the government nor the cartels are to blame. The main responsibility is ours: society. A society numb, passive and fearful, abducted not by violence but by the fear that keeps us heads down and tolerant of calamities that happen everyday in our streets. How many more deaths are required to take responsibility and act? Do we need our children to be bled to get up?
I think not. I do not think it necessary that the tragedy touches each and every one of our homes to rise. And yes, we need to rise up in arms, making a revolution in which our rifle is the reason and our bullets the word where to recruit peacekeepers and agents of change rather than seeking violent solutions. Form a third army in the trenches is where change and social service, that seeks to heal the shattered social fabric and that this derives from the conflict, an army that understands that the security crisis is not economic or political, but social; understand is in us and not a politician or a policeman to rescue this country.
But how? How to form a third military, social, peace and fight from the trenches. Stop it wanted to share our proposal resulting in Torreon for not sit back against the unjust death of our friends: 10 young people will meet to create a civil partnership have a clear goal: to create development opportunities for those abandoned by society; be it poor, misfits, etc. young band. These opportunities, create them by organizing sports tournaments, cultural and academic and job skills through collaboration agreements with universities. Imagine the positive impact that would, for example, offering a diploma in carpentry exclusive car wash and wipers, which are an education that inculcates what is the culture of effort and have a real alternative to join the ranks of the drug.
may think that these efforts to "keep the mind busy" for young people and the government are carried out, and they are right. However I believe that these actions lack continuity because they are six-year or three-year plans and rely on red, blue, yellow or green. Society we do not rely on an expiration date or a color, we are the only ones who can provide program permanent basis and for society.
Friends of the republic, wake up from this nightmare. Take action and fighting crime as society as a whole, as a united people seeking ransom himself.
Unite! That the boundaries of society are destroyed and show that we are a people with historical memory and high social commitment.
Do you love your country? Show him in action! And he shut the door to someone tomorrow may be your son's abductor. I invite you to join this revolution of thought and this army of peace in your city promoting opportunities for those who do not tienen.
Déjenme decirles, as Ernesto Guevara would say, a riesgo of seeming ridiculous, that el VERDADERO revolutionary is guided by great love sentimientos.
