In 2005, the metropolitan area of Concepcion inaugurated the BIO Train service, providing a 48-kilometre link between the city of Concepcion and the municipalities of Talcahuano, San Pedro de la Paz, Chiguayante and Hualqui (www.biotren.cl/BiotrenEmpresa.aspx accessed 30 October 2012). In addition, a new fleet of buses with more capacity and better conditions for passengers (taxibuses) was established in 2011, and a new service of night buses was established in June 2012. Public authorities have been resolving the chief problems identified in the design and operation of this system.
