Where will the musicians go?

One of Santiago's most notable characteristics is the yellow micro. Like them or hate them, they are a fundamental thread of what makes this city. It is difficult to find a place where you can't hear one, see one, or smell one. They swarm the streets, fill the air with smog, drive to fast, but yet get you to where you want to go.

The privatized system in use currently is a disaster, and the new system, though well appreciated, doesn't appear to be much better. Sure, the buses are new, run well, the drivers receive some sort of training, they are more regulated when it comes to stops, and (I hope) safety.

What isn't clear is how they will manage the quantity of traffic once the yellow micros have been phased out. One only needs to stand at escuela militar and try to get to Vitacura during rush hour to see that it is metro that needs to be extended even more before the number of buses can be reduced. However, the biggest flaw in the new TransSantiago is the prohibition against vendors and musicians on these green buses.

The vendors and musicians that ride the yellow micros are what give Santiago a nice twist of character. They provide a bit of amusement on an otherwise uncomfortable and usually boring ride. Where will these people go? Especially the musicians, where will you be able to hear some folklorica on your way to work?
