Sad state of public transportation

The conditions of several buses of the public transportation system of Cuernavaca is to cry for. Some of them shouldn't even be allowed to be used as private transport, much less public.

I find it sad that such an important component mode of transportation is in such state, specially because Cuernavaca it's the state capital. Also it prides itself of being a tourist friendly city, and should be a lot more careful of the image given by it's public transportation system.

For the 10 years I've been living at Cuernavaca, the system has been in desperate need of an update and an overhaul. Both buses and taxis need to be renewed for newer, and more efficient, units.

The markings of the buses need to be standardized, as the lighting used at night with it. Each operator of every route seems that can use whatever font he fancies to mark his bus, even though it can be almost unreadable. And there doesn't seem to be any rule about what it's permitted as decoration.

What is becoming a prime factor for the many traffic jams and congestions on the main city streets, is that most of the lines routes over lap each other for much of the time, while some other parts of the city are left without public transportation service. This makes the system really inefficient.

By overhauling the routes of the system many of the city transportation problems would be solved. Pollution could be greatly mitigated, by reducing congestion and traffic jams. Also, time of travel would be brought down and more people could be moved by the same amount of buses.

Also, people could save both time and money. As it stands now, some people have to take more buses that needed mainly because they have no other option to get where they have to go, since there is no direct way other to use a taxi or a private car.

The government and public system operatives need to understand that the update of the units and system is urgent. There is no time left, if we want to keep attracting tourism. And a better quality of life for those who live at Cuernavaca.
