PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION IN COLOMBIA

The three major cities in Colombia (Bogota, Cali, Medellin) have mass transit systems similar to
those in Europe and the United States.
Bogotá
Bogota’s system is called the TransMileno and is essentially a system of bright red buses disguised as a
subway. Buses have their own lanes to keep them traffic free, and self-contained stations keep connections
on and off the buses fast, easy and safe.
A one-way ticket on the TransMileno is $2.500 pesos.
Individual trips can be bought or you can put a larger sum of money on a disposable card so as not to have
to wait in line to pay each time.
Hardest thing about the TransMilenio? The routes! Maybe its just because I have never lived in a big city, but
it definitely took me a few trial and errors to figure out.
My best advice: The single digit buses stop at every station, while many of the double digit routes only stop
at select stops and operate more as express buses. I later discovered you can actually plan your route
online, so they may avoid future issues in my Bogotá adventures.

Cali
Cali has the MIO, which is almost an exact replica of the TransMileno system. Projecting the slogan, “El Mio
es Tuyo” (The MIO is yours), this fancy air-conditioned bus network is getting better everyday.
In December 2009, ten new routes were added and the buses can now take you to virtually every part of this
elongated city.
The principal routes run the length of Calle 5 (La Quinta) and then circle about El Centro, the downtown
area.
Express buses have the same route number as their standard counterparts, but are labeled with an E
followed by the route number. (Definitely easier than Bogota’s system! Score one for Cali.) Ticket prices are
also $1,500 pesos for one-way.

Medellin
Medellin features the fancy Metro, which Holly wrote about in August 2009. At the time of my visit ticket
prices were $1,400 but I believe they also have student and senior citizen discount prices.
Opened in 1995, the Metro in Medellin is the only rail line in Colombia. Trains run on ground level for the
most part, except in the city center near Botero Plaza, the Jardin Botanical and the University where tracks
are elevated.
The Metro features a special division called the MetroCable which branches from the main line of the Metro
and runs a continuous string of cable cars along the mountainside.

The MetroCable provides stunning views of the city and also ensures access from the poorer hillside
neighborhoods to the central downtown area.
As someone who loves to get around a city and explore, I have been pleasantly surprised by the extensive
and reasonably priced systems in place here.
Travel is definitely affordable in Colombian cities – check back next time when I talk about travel from city
to city!

Answer the following questions according to the information above.

1. Do you think the mass transit systems metioned before are the best solution to facilitate
the daily citizen mobility in our country? Why?

 Yes, they are because there are citizens who do not have cars or motorcycles, so it is
easier for them to transport themselves in transports such as the TansMilenio in Bogota,
the MIO in Cali, the Metrocable or the Metro in Medellin.

2. Do you think the use of one of these mass transit systems may help the mobiliy in our
city? Why?

 Yes, they may. Because it helps low-income people to move from one place to
another since it is cheaper than a taxi

3. Propose the best system of public transport for our city giving some reason about your
choise. Use simple sentences.

 In my opinion, the best transport to facilitate mobility in our city may be public
transport because it is inexpensive and mobilizes us wherever we wish.
