transportation system and although it
transports approximately 2 million people

used by the citizens of Bogotá. It is a
transport system accessible to the most
vulnerable population, subsidizing the
people who need it most

Europe, it is also the cheapest and most
efficient. Children under 4 have free
admission.
Buses are a great attraction, you can see
the city. These work from 6:00 a.m. at
11:00 p.m. There are other types of night
buses that run all night called bulls or
owls.
