Desde el domingo pasado, se ha observado un aumento significativo de pasajeros que caminan por las vías del Ferrocarril Sarmiento para evitar pagar el boleto. Este fenómeno, visible en estaciones como Flores y Merlo, refleja la difícil situación económica que enfrenta la población, con muchos trabajadores del sector textil incapaces de costear el transporte. Las autoridades intentan controlar la situación implementando dispositivos de seguridad y soldando puertas para evitar estas prácticas.

00:00And since last Sunday, we have been showing in different stations, especially the Sarmiento Railway, what is happening.
00:09And this image is no longer in the province, this is here in Flores, in the city of Buenos Aires.
00:16They are passengers who walk along the tracks to take the train and avoid the passage through the windmill and support the V card.
00:28Look at the amount of people.
00:30We have been saying this since Sunday, when we started showing what is happening at the Merlo station.
00:35Well, it is not a joke. When such massiveness is achieved, it is already a social problem.
00:43There is a thermometer, there is a social symptom that is saying, guys, people don't have the money to go to work.
00:51It is very difficult for them to go to work because everything comes out of the same pocket, thinned by the crisis.
00:57Marcelo Padovani is in Flores because what the authorities do in the face of this is to say,
01:02well, we control that they do not slip and they are doing it as a device.
01:06They put people to see if they can avoid the pilgrimage of people along the tracks.
01:11Marcelo, tell me.
01:14We are going to put this in context.
01:16Rolo, if you think this time in the morning.
01:18Look, I'm going to tell you, that video you're watching of people walking along the tracks is here.
01:23What is the context of this situation?
01:26This has to do, according to the source that you can consult here,
01:30has to do with the following.
01:32The people who come to work on Avenida Avellaneda,
01:35before, well, of course, they could pay the ticket, they tell me.
01:40And now, since they can't pay the ticket because it was too expensive,
01:43they pass through this street, that is, they come through Condarco,
01:46grabs this track, gets on the station and takes the train to Zone B.
01:52They are employees of the premises, workshops, people who work in the textile sector.
01:57And the people here know them.
01:59Yes, the people here on the railroad know them.
02:02This is the first piece of information.
02:03And this happens from four in the afternoon, on time.
02:07From four in the afternoon, according to the sources you can consult, Rolo.
02:12And I tell you one thing that I just found out,
02:15and that is going to happen in the next few hours, or that is already happening.
02:19In the station of Merlo, do you remember that we were on Monday,
02:22on Monday we were at the station of Merlo,
02:24that they passed, that they got off the train that came from Lobos,
02:28to take directly the one that came here to the capital.
02:31Well, be careful because they are welding the doors.
02:34Look.
02:35They are welding the exit doors to avoid ...
02:39Look, I'm going to show you what they are going to weld in the next few hours.
02:43Let's see, because here, what do the people of the railroad do?
02:46We are entering the Flores station.
02:49We are entering the Flores station.
02:51What do people do here?
02:52Do you see the windmills back there?
02:54Well, next to this there is a metal door.
02:57To the left, if you pay attention, there is a metal door.
03:02That door, when a lot of people come,
03:05it opens because, well, to avoid crowds,
03:08people pass by and the ticket is not paid, obviously.
03:12That door, apparently, is one of the ones that is going to be welded.
03:17Of course, this is unofficial information that we have,
03:20but it would be part of the evasion control
03:24that Argentine trains have planned.
03:27In this case, the Argentine train company,
03:29which is the one that manages, that cooperates,
03:31the service ...
03:32Yes, it seems to me that what they are not taking note of,
03:35what they are not taking note of,
03:36is that there is a latent social phenomenon.
03:40Something is happening with the tickets.
03:42It is not that all these people suddenly discovered
03:44the art of being dragged on the train.
03:47They are walking on electrified tracks.
03:49It seems to me that there is a deeper social symptom there.
03:53I say this with total improvisation,
03:55but it seems to me that there is something deeper there.
03:59It cannot be that suddenly, from one day to the next,
04:01when the ticket is issued,
04:02thousands of people are sent to the tracks to avoid the ticket.
04:07Well, I'll tell you.
04:08Look, another detail.
04:09There I am remembering things that have been told to me.
04:12There were four or five who passed through here.
04:14Look, through Condarco.
04:16They came through Condarco and took the track.
04:19With the risk that this implies, right?
04:20Why?
04:21While this train comes from Moreno and goes to Once.
04:25With the risk that this implies,
04:26because yesterday Prosperi,
04:27our colleague Abrey Prosperi,
04:28showed us that the third rail is there,
04:30that it is covered.
04:31But nothing, it guarantees that you do not put a foot up
04:34and you get stuck.
04:35The truth is that it is a huge risk to cross a track
04:37in these conditions.
04:38Well, for some reason there is a sign.
04:39And more walking on the track.
04:40Marce, for some reason,
04:41in all the headers,
04:42in all the barriers,
04:43there is a sign
04:44when it is an electric train
04:45that says,
04:46be careful,
04:47electricity circulates here,
04:49do not walk.
04:53No, of course, of course.
04:54Now we are going to see it.
04:55Now when the train ends,
04:57which is quite long,
04:58this one that goes to Once,
04:59and here the other one goes to Moreno.
05:01Look,
05:02here Dario is going to show you.
05:03Here is the sign.
05:04What does it say?
05:05Forbidden to transit or,
05:06let's see if I see,
05:07or cross the tracks
05:08through unauthorized places.
05:10There it is.
05:11Danger,
05:12electrified track above.
05:13Of course.
05:14You see, if you have a person,
05:15a doll,
05:16it is closed.
05:17No, it is very dangerous.
05:18But hey,
05:19this crowd
05:20came yesterday,
05:21four,
05:22from four in the afternoon,
05:23they walk around here,
05:24along the track
05:25that you have to take
05:26to take,
05:27worth the redundancy,
05:28the one that goes to Moreno.
05:30This is from four
05:31and apparently
05:32they are workers.
05:33They are workers,
05:34they are workers
05:35from here,
05:36the area of Flores,
05:37Avellaneda,
05:38or merchants,
05:39or people who work
05:40in these shops
05:41from Monday to Friday,
05:43and that,
05:44well,
05:45the train has left
05:46at 2.80 am.
05:47And you don't have to be fooled,
05:48Marcel.
05:49Ah, and another thing.
05:50It's not stinginess,
05:51they are scenes of poverty.
05:52Well,
05:53another thing,
05:54I'll tell you,
05:55I'll close with this short,
05:56if you want.
05:57Look,
05:58there is a detail here.
05:59If you evade,
06:00let's see,
06:01if you put the V,
06:02I want to say it well,
06:03if you put the V
06:04and you go up in Flores,
06:05for example,
06:06and you are going to go to Moreno,
06:07in Moreno
06:08you have to put the card
06:09because if not,
06:10in the next trip
06:11it charges you completely,
06:12it charges you the entire section,
06:13yes?
06:14It charges you 11 Moreno,
06:15for example,
06:16right?
06:17So,
06:18obviously,
06:19you have to evade
06:20both,
06:21the rise
06:22and the descent.
06:23That's why
06:24the tracks are walked
06:25both when you go up
06:26and when you go down.
06:27Marcel,
06:28thank you.
