On the bus all women, all those who have come with me, women and immigrants.” You know that my friends, like me, move like this, that women, migrants and the elderly mainly use collective transportation. So far.

Collective. Term less and less used. I have not said “public” because ultimately, transport depends on exploitative public-private invention. Bizkaibus workers on strike know the difference.

They say it is for Ukraine, we could also talk a lot, but the truth is that the price of transport has gone down in the last era. This causes a new phenomenon, where several people who didn't use it have known what it is to travel together. And the surprise is that everyone has to adapt.

The trips to the hospital are long. Very. For a half-hour drive, the bus needs almost an hour. What needs to be improved? No doubt. There are several ways of doing this. But it's not serious to ask for direct travel for yourself, without worrying about people from other peoples. It bothered me, really, to read that the bus journey from Lekeitio to hospitals was called “tourist route.” Written by a resident of a tourist village. See, Ispaster, Elantxobe and people from different towns and neighborhoods as if they didn't live and get sick in a postcard.

Meanwhile, some of Ondarroa want those of Markina to wait on the general road between traffic and rains so as not to “lose” between five and ten minutes. In the newspaper where the whole world was, he replied ironically, that to bring forward ten minutes it was better for the applicant's village to have one stop instead of three.

We complain about lack of time. But why do we want that hard time? To give away the company? It can be 10 minutes for ourselves, for reading, for reflection, for meeting. However, people do not know how to be with themselves, as explained by the experiment published in the journal Science: 67% of the men in the sample and 25% of the women, 15 minutes later, preferred to receive electric shock rather than remain at rest.

The use of collective transport in itself is a new way of life. Besides gaining punctuality, they learn to do a different management of time, to organize the whole day differently, to wait and to give time (taking time for us!). And most importantly, this service is not for our punctual needs. The satisfaction of our needs is, in general, but also of all others, although they belong to a single elderly woman at the tip of Zengotita.

Soon many of us will not be able to have a car, we have to move by collective transport (better if we do so by public transport). In this there is also disillusionment between governments and administrations, entertained with the cursed TAV that serves us nothing rather than improving and expanding the service, and wasting with friends the money we citizens earn at the expense of it.

Yes, in some cases direct services (and perhaps also launchers) will also be needed. But better if we start to understand that collectivity, first of all, makes us think about the collective. The road is not to get the beans out of the pot, without worrying about burning the beans from others. In transport and in all ports of arrival.
