# SYSTRA wins second metro line in Bogota

With more than 8.3 million inhabitants, Bogotá is pushing ahead with the
implementation of its second Metro Line, with the selection of the Integral
Structuring Consultant last month.

Line 2 will complement Line 1, which is still under construction in the
hypercentre in the north-east of the capital. The stations will be
interconnected with the TransMilenio Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) network and the
RegioTram del Norte tram-train line, for which SYSTRA is also in charge of
design.

SYSTRA is leading the Unión Temporal Movius – UT Movilidad Urbana Sostenible
consortium, which includes five other specialist companies, and which was
selected by the FDN, the Financiera de Desarrollo Nacional of Colombia.

### SYSTRA at the heart of the major changes in Bogotá’s transport system

As early as 2017, SYSTRA prepared the technical structuring and studies for line
1 of the Bogotá metro. The launch of this project is the culmination of a
process of reflection in which SYSTRA has been involved since 1980, when we
carried out a feasibility study for a metro system, our first assignment in the
country.

The Group is also involved in other modes of public transport, participating in
their development throughout the country: a tram-train with the RegioTram line
in 2019, and urban cable car, with the San Rafael line (2018-2019), as well as
major projects such as the Medellin mobility plan and the Cali tram-train.
