El precio del boleto de metro disparó la indignación, pero su reducción no puede, por sí sola, apaciguar la rabia (es lo que técnicamente se llama una causa asimétrica). Hoy el conflicto es otro y es uno de muy difícil solución. Una prueba tangible de ello lo son la difusión de la protesta fuera de Santiago, ya muy lejos del alcance de la línea de Metro. También los cacerolazos en el barrio alto.
