Follow-up: Bachelet tells Transantiago users to keep their hand to themselves

As part of her plans to help “fix” the public transportation system in Chile’s capital, President Michelle Bachelet proposed serious penalties for anyone caught groping passengers. “I have given the necessary instructions to prevent this kind of behavior and to severely punish all those guilty,” said Bachelet during a ceremony yesterday to celebrate International Women’s Day.

Patience has run thin over problems with the Transantiago system; so much so that vandals torched a bus terminal late last night.
