PUBLIC TRANSPORT
| Translation | |
Bogota's
public transport is operated with buses, busetas, colectivos, taxis and the
latest addition: the Transmilenio. These vehicles, perhaps 15,000 of
them altogether, have all kinds of shapes and sizes. Some are very old and some
are very comfortable and modern. That is why there are different prices for each
type.
In Bogota there are practically no bus stops, so you have to flag down a bus
wherever you are and the bus or buseta will pick you up right there. But
nowadays on some congested streets they are implementing bus stops, so the
system is more efficient. The buses and busetas run throughout the length and
the breadth of the city at a very scary speed, if traffic allows.
