TRAFFIC CONGESTION:

 

In Colombia the traffic congestion is a major issue, the roads and the infrastructure aren’t well designed and all the streets are getting lo little for the enormous amount of cars that are in the city.  The Public transport is not the best because there is a lot of violence and corruption in those aspects.

​

Fortunately there are some mechanisms that help the traffic congestion like Pico y placa that focuses in letting cars that are even circulate one day in the city and the ones that are odd other day.

 

• The Transmilenio System

The bus system reduces fuel consumption and pollutant emissions. Tests have been conducted since May 2011, for the use of hybrid buses (diesel-electric) and electrical buses that would further reduce the city's pollution by 40%.

​

• Integrated Mass Transit System (SITP)

With the launch of the SITP in 2012, it is expected that 5,188 traditional public buses will be eliminated from the streets, which will save 643,178 barrels of diesel per year. The system will improve the city’s use of energy and water resources. 

​

• Network of Bicycle Pathways

This network of 344 kilometers of mobility corridors for exclusive use by bicycles has fostered a reduction in the emission of pollutant gases, as 450,000 people utilize them daily. 

​

• Ciclovía (Temporary Bicycle Ways)

​

• A circuit spanning 127 kilometers of bicycle ways, this allows over one million users to undertake different sports and recreational activities every Sunday. This model has been replicated in cities such as New York, Paris, San Francisco, and Chicago. 

 

 The government is implementing doing a metro station and this will help significantly the city and people will spend less time going to work and work more.

​

Making this changes will help business because their time delivery will reduce, cost are going to be lower and everything will be more efficient. Below are the lines that will be operating the metro at the future.
