""For Bogotá, bus rapid transit has been key in the first phase of building a transportation system that is complete, that is integrated, and that at a lower cost can move a lot of people faster.""
""We have lanes in Bogotá of bus rapid transit that are moving 73,000 passengers per hour in one direction.""
""Beyond its expansive bus rapid transit system, Bogotá is known for a bike lane network, and a popular weekly open street program called Ciclovía that's a global example of prioritizing people over cars.""
Bogotá's transportation system, particularly its bus rapid transit, is recognized for efficiently moving tens of thousands of passengers at low costs. Mayor Carlos Fernando Galán emphasized the importance of this system in creating a complete and integrated transportation network. Bogotá also features a bike lane network and the popular Ciclovía program, which prioritizes pedestrians and cyclists. The city's success has drawn attention from other urban leaders, including New York's Department of Transportation Commissioner Mike Flynn, who seeks to emulate Bogotá's model.
