El conductor del veh\u00edculo era de esos a los que les gusta hablar. Me pregunt\u00f3 que si ten\u00eda noticias del paro. \u00bfCual paro?, le dije yo. Pues el paro de transporte, me contest\u00f3.<\/p>\n<p>Entonces me explic\u00f3 que los conductores de servicio p\u00fablico iban a paralizar la ciudad para impedir el cobro de los comparendos que tienen m\u00e1s de tres a\u00f1os. Vamos a exigir la prescripci\u00f3n de esa vaina y que nos respeten nuestro derecho al trabajo, me dijo. \u00bfY usted cu\u00e1nto debe?, le pregunt\u00e9. Yo, diecis\u00e9is millones, me respondi\u00f3 imp\u00e1vido. No pago desde 2002, agreg\u00f3; esta ma\u00f1ana me hicieron otro parte, dizque por estacionar mal, o no s\u00e9 por qu\u00e9; yo ya ni pregunto cuando me los hacen, simplemente recibo el papelito y despu\u00e9s lo rompo, \u00bfqu\u00e9 m\u00e1s puedo hacer? \u00bfO acaso quieren que deje de llevar plata a mi casa?<\/p>\n<p>Hace veinte a\u00f1os los comparendos eran escasos y baratos. Por eso una buena parte de los conductores desconoc\u00eda las normas de tr\u00e1nsito y no pasaba nada. El C\u00f3digo Nacional de Tr\u00e1nsito intent\u00f3 remediar esa situaci\u00f3n aumentando el monto de los comparendos. Pero hubo dos obst\u00e1culos: primero, la incapacidad institucional para hacer efectivo el cobro, y segundo, la marruller\u00eda de buena parte de los conductores de transporte p\u00fablico. Resultado: en la Secretar\u00eda de la Movilidad de Bogot\u00e1 hay 928 mil comparendos que no han sido pagados, lo cual representa una cartera de 355 mil millones de pesos.<\/p>\n<p>Esto prueba que no basta con aumentar las multas para que la gente cumpla. Tambi\u00e9n se necesita que la administraci\u00f3n sea capaz de cobrar. La combinaci\u00f3n de estos dos elementos \u2014multas y pago efectivo\u2014 da lugar a cuatro situaciones posibles: 1) mucha multa y mucho cobro, 2) poca multa y poco cobro, 3) mucha multa y poco cobro y 4) poca multa y mucho cobro. Hace veinte a\u00f1os est\u00e1bamos en la situaci\u00f3n n\u00famero dos \u2014pocas multas y pocos cobros\u2014, hoy estamos en la tres \u2014muchas multas y pocos cobros\u2014 que, a mi juicio, es la peor de todas, debido a que no s\u00f3lo fracasa en lo que se propone, sino que crea dos problemas adicionales.<\/p>\n<p>Uno, promueve la corrupci\u00f3n: como las multas son tan caras, como la administraci\u00f3n es tan d\u00e9bil y como los conductores son tan vivos, mucha gente, empezando por los polic\u00edas de tr\u00e1nsito, busca el camino ilegal para salir del asunto; y dos, tener a miles de conductores por fuera de la ley y circulando diariamente por la ciudad no s\u00f3lo es una verg\u00fcenza para el Estado, sino un peligro p\u00fablico para la ciudadan\u00eda.<\/p>\n<p>Antanas Mockus y Pe\u00f1alosa hicieron un esfuerzo muy importante por lograr el pago efectivo de las multas, mejorando la capacidad de la administraci\u00f3n p\u00fablica y promoviendo una cultura ciudadana de la legalidad. Desafortunadamente, todo indica que esto se ha ido desvaneciendo con los alcaldes del Polo.<\/p>\n<p>La combinaci\u00f3n tres que vengo comentando \u2014mucha multa y poco cobro\u2014 casi siempre termina en una amnist\u00eda, que es lo que quiere el taxista que mencion\u00e9 al inicio y que seguramente es lo que va a pasar. Pero es una l\u00e1stima que eso suceda: el perd\u00f3n de las multas premia a los vivos, castiga a los que pagan y debilita la capacidad institucional.<\/p>\n<p>Esto me recuerda una frase de alguien que conoc\u00eda bien los secretos del fortalecimiento institucional; me refiero al rey de Francia Luis XIV (El rey sol). Seg\u00fan \u00e9l, \u201cquien perdona mucho, se la pasa castigando in\u00fatilmente el resto del tiempo\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>These days, I took a cab to go downtown.
