    The use of railways to transport goods in Colombia should be implemented. While some argue the infrastructure is not there and it is more expensive than trucks, rail transport would be cheaper than trucks by 5-15% due to economic scale. Transporting goods by rail from Bogota to Santa Marta would cost less than the current truck system due to savings in freight and logistics costs. Implementing rail transport of goods could help companies lower transportation costs.
