Resumen
It's very interesting how the emotional aspect of an individual is affected when forced by the public transportation system to be part of a crowd. One recognizes a massifying intention in social spaces that compels us to become just another member in different groups of strangers, formations that occur within an imperfect urban daily life, especially on the journey from Soacha to Bogotá, as it happens in Transmilenio. The physical conditions, design, and inadequate management of this system crowd us, forcing us into contact and proximity in a systematically invasive manner that seemingly disregards our right to individuality and our value as human beings. An origin to the problem is suggested in the way policies inherent to capitalism, which define the social and economic dynamics of our contemporary societies, manifest themselves inside a Transmilenio car, primarily through the user's visual and auditory experience. Therefore, the text is primarily constructed from personal experiences and encounters. These are presented to the reader through the formulation of questions, seeking to validate and contrast them regarding Transmilenio user rights, as well as exploring insights from other authors and artists.
