Bogotá, the capital of Colombia, is currently undergoing major road works that aim to change the face of a city that needs a more organized, agile, and environmentally friendly transportation system.
In 1998, construction began on the first phase of the Transmilenio system, which was intended to improve mobility on the city's major avenues and highways.
But the cost of building and implementing this system had an even greater impact on mobility, This, coupled with the poor efficiency of the IDU (Urban Development Institute) in executing the works and constant neglect in the maintenance of other areas, as well as the recent scandal of the so-called contracting carousel in the city, has made mobility for Bogotanos in the capital part of their way of life, and the rest of the country also has this perception.
