Translation Comprehension Grammar Vocabulary Pronunciation/Listening Game Index Page

The articulated bus "Transmilenio" is an advanced traffic management system alternative to daily traffic congestion.
It was implemented in Bogota at the beginning of January, 2001. The system started with 92 articulated buses, which are constructed of two red structures connected in the middle by a flexible tube.
There are exclusive paths for these buses that run throughout the city.

There are three types of stations:
Main, called Portales, located at the beginning and at the end of the roadways.
Medium, situated in the most important intersections.
Simple, located aproximately every 500 m (approximately 1/4 of a mile) along the routes.
