00:11Welcome to Spectator Interviews, today with the Secretary of
00:16Mobility María Fernanda Ortiz, who is visiting us to talk about the current situation of
00:20city in terms of mobility works and what is coming in terms of infrastructure.
00:26Dr. María Fernanda, welcome to El Espectador Interviews.
00:30Thank you so much, it's a pleasure to be here talking with you.
00:34Secretary María Fernanda is an engineer and traffic expert, and during the first
00:42As part of Mayor Carlos Fernando Acalán's administration, he was in charge of Transmilenio.
00:47And right at this final stretch, he assumes the role of Secretary.
00:52Secretary, how was that leap and how was the position received?
00:58It's a significant challenge, Alex, and it's not just from the perspective of public transport anymore,
01:06but rather the mobility of the entire city.
01:09Very important, focused on people, I think that's a concept that has evolved.
01:15Today we're not talking about moving vehicles or cargo; today we're talking about moving people, and that's our main purpose.
01:24in the Secretariat and what motivates me to be here leading this sector.
01:29Secretariat, almost all global mobility indices place Bogotá among the worst cities for traffic congestion,
01:38The amount, the amount of time people waste on public transport, on private transport.
01:44I know that little remains, but today the speed of the city, what is it and what is it
01:51his goal by the end of this administration,
01:54taking into account the context that it is a city that is under construction.
01:57That's the most important thing, and that is that we are living through a historic transformation of the city.
02:03This is the time when we have had the most active construction projects,
02:08because we are experiencing a revolution with the construction of the first metro line,
02:12of the Transmicable in San Cristóbal, on the Avenida Carrera 68 trunk line,
02:16of the Avenida Ciudad de Cali trunk line and also an extension of our Transmilenio Sur trunk line in Soacha,
02:25which will allow us to have a public transport system of a much higher quality by 2028
02:33the one we have today.
02:35That brings us to today's challenge, which is that we are dealing with a city where the capacity
02:41road traffic has been reduced
02:43because of the closures, detours, and traffic management plans we have to implement to allow the works to continue progressing
02:53and let's have what will truly transform and reduce our travel times,
02:57which are those large infrastructure projects in operation in 2027 and 2028.
03:04So what we always say is we need to make some decisions today.
03:09and perhaps face some inconveniences today, but for a city that will have a better system for the
03:16people in 2028.
03:18So, for now we're going to continue with that list of cities with the heaviest traffic.
03:23I sometimes have some objections about those indices,
03:26because the way those indices are measured is based on the travel time of the transport
03:34private.
03:34Bogotá is a complex and special city in the world because it is a megacity.
03:41If we think about it without counting Asian cities, there are few cities as big in Europe and America.
03:49and as complex as Bogotá.
03:52And we also have the advantage in most criteria of being a very dense city.
04:00That means that Bogotá is organized so that we can get around using public transport.
04:06We have the only fully integrated system with total city coverage in the country and one of the few
04:14in Latin America.
04:15If we look at our public transport system, it is a global example.
04:20We know there are opportunities for improvement, that's precisely why we are building infrastructure.
04:24working to improve that travel experience for users.
04:28But our public transport system is, we can say, the only integrated one in the country,
04:34The only one that allows us to go to and from any point paying a single fee, which is very important.
04:41And travel times are much more related to the fact that people live far from their workplaces,
04:49but not necessarily with the performance of the system.
04:52Private transport is another situation, but here we have the advantage that the city mainly moves by public transport.
05:01public transport, by bicycle and on foot.
05:04Secretary, when the mayor took office, one of the major concerns that still persists is the issue of peak hours and
05:11plate.
05:11He took responsibility and said he was going to conduct some studies to see how he could modify it.
05:17But it's as if that task falls to you, as if you were new to the position.
05:24I wanted to ask if there are any projects underway to make a modification to it,
05:28Perhaps include motorcycles, which are already a vehicle fleet that is reaching almost 700,000 units traveling
05:34the city.
05:34What can we discuss regarding the peak and plate restrictions? Will there be changes, or will they remain as they are?
05:41That is indeed one of the things we are analyzing today.
05:46The "peak and plate" system is a demand management measure to help us organize ourselves better.
05:52Let's rationalize the use of roads with our private vehicles
05:56and we can all reduce our travel time.
06:00That is the main objective of the peak and plate system.
06:02So, at this moment we are reviewing, for example,
06:06the proposal that the mayor announced last year
06:09to implement a peak and plate system for vehicles registered outside on Saturdays.
06:16So, that's one of the things that still needs to be defined.
06:19We haven't made a final decision yet.
06:21But we are analyzing different measures that can achieve that purpose.
06:25And it is within the framework of this situation of construction fronts
06:29we can reduce our travel time in the city
06:33with that rationalization of the use of private vehicles
06:36and the tracks.
06:38Particularly in the case of vehicles registered outside of Bogotá,
06:42that there was obviously a clash over the issue of regional integration.
06:45An announcement like that caused a bit of a shock, and we see that it's already August.
06:49and ultimately that measure was not implemented.
06:53Are they going to rule it out completely?
06:55Are they still negotiating with the metropolitan region?
06:58We are first doing technical analysis.
07:02There are indeed many cars, and that's not a measure that should affect our neighbors.
07:11to the municipalities that are close to Bogotá nor to the people who live outside.
07:15It's a measure, as I say, to streamline things, so that we can organize ourselves better.
07:20in the use of roads in Bogotá and that we can reduce our travel times.
07:26What we have said since the beginning of Mayor Carlos Fernando Galán's administration
07:31The thing is, we all contribute to mobility.
07:33This is not just a task for the district with our investments,
07:39our decisions, our management, but also from the citizen's perspective,
07:43from each one of us through our behavior and decisions,
07:46sometimes we do decide not to use our own vehicle,
07:52but other modes of transport in the city.
07:54That also contributes to improved mobility.
07:57And that is the purpose of these types of measures, to manage demand.
08:04the use of vehicles in such a way that we as a city in general benefit.
08:11Perfect.
08:12We see that the transition from traffic police, which was the existing figure, to civilian agents,
08:20which is a body that grows a little more over time.
08:24But complaints about poor parking or violations remain as prevalent as the atmosphere itself.
08:30What has happened to this civilian body of traffic officers?
08:33What is the projection?
08:35Why haven't they been able to rein in these frequent offenders in the city?
08:41This city, as we said, is a very big city.
08:45And the truth is that the number of traffic police and agents we have,
08:50because today we work with both bodies in a complementary way to carry out our work of control and monitoring on the roads,
08:58It is not enough for the entire city and for all the events that happen in the city.
09:04That is why our contribution as citizens through our good behavior is so important.
09:10that we don't literally have to have the police behind us to make us comply with the rule.
09:16What we have demonstrated is that one or two minutes of bad parking on a main road...
09:23It affects the traffic of thousands of people.
09:26So, the call is always for that contribution from individual behavior
09:32so that the city can continue to move more efficiently.
09:35In this administration we increased the number of traffic officers by an additional 130 people.
09:43That's what we're working on today, and what we're doing is distributing our territorial team prioritizing two things.
09:52First and foremost is road safety, which is one of our top priorities today.
09:58because the mayor's position is that all deaths in road accidents are preventable
10:06And they are all a concern for us.
10:09We need to reach zero fatalities in road accidents
10:13And in that sense, road safety is the main criterion we use to establish controls on the roads.
10:21to locate our territorial staff and carry out that work which is not only about control but also about education
10:31because among our agents, the guides and the traffic police
10:35Educational work is also carried out with the different road users.
10:40So that's how we distribute the limited resources we have today.
10:46to change those behaviors and improve mobility.
10:51Regarding that program of zero accidents in the city,
10:57Last year they had a significant decrease, but this year it seems like it's happening again.
11:01Fatalities happen in an instant. What has changed from one year to the next to cause this trend?
11:08reversed?
11:10That's multiple causes, but there's one indicator that's very different.
11:16For example, the number of motorcycles in the city in the first half of the year
11:19Compared to 2025, it increased by 25%.
11:24So this increase in the number of motorcycles is not only happening in Bogotá
11:29but in the rest of the country we see that it may be related to that increase in fatal accidents
11:36which are mostly related to motorcyclists.
11:41Unfortunately, nearly 50% of those fatalities are motorcyclists.
11:46which has increased compared to last year.
11:50So that tells us that we should prioritize working with that road user
11:56to effectively bring that number of fatal accidents to zero in the city.
12:03We are working to implement and strengthen our educational measures.
12:09We will continue to carry out checks as well, but we know that we must work very closely together.
12:14with the entire motorcyclist ecosystem so that they understand our purpose
12:20It's about them arriving home safe and sound, about them arriving alive.
12:25And in that sense, we want to implement specialized pedagogical courses.
12:30so that through compliance with the rules
12:35and knowing how to interact with other road users
12:39so they can have a safe journey and arrive home alive.
12:45Well, and if you add to that drivers like the one in the SPARC last week
12:50wanting to cross via a pedestrian bridge.
12:54That says a lot about the driving culture in Bogotá.
12:57What is being done, for example, and especially in this particular case of this gentleman?
13:02What has been done and what comes next, for example, in that case?
13:04In that case, several things happened.
13:06The first thing is that the license plates were covered.
13:09Then we took steps to identify the car's license plate.
13:14Thanks to the public, we were able to identify that license plate.
13:18That led us to the owner of the vehicle.
13:21We went to Zipaquirá to notify the owner of the vehicle.
13:25so that he could appear before the secretary and take charge of those summonses.
13:32It is very important for citizens to understand this clearly.
13:35that the vehicle owners are jointly responsible
13:40of those infractions committed with vehicles on the road.
13:45Then the vehicle owner said
13:47No, I sold it and didn't do the transfer, so it was someone else.
13:52But he is responsible.
13:53Then he had to accept the fines for encroaching on public space,
13:58for driving in prohibited areas and also for dangerous maneuvers.
14:02And that's with respect to, let's say, the owner of the vehicle.
14:06On the other hand, we also receive information from different people
14:10Through social media, in short, which allowed us to identify the driver
14:14who also seemed to want him to be identified as well.
14:18The driver has 35 traffic tickets totaling approximately 24 million pesos.
14:26He has literally seized even the Neki.
14:28And that's a process that the Secretariat has been carrying out.
14:31And that's because the coercive collection of traffic tickets will eventually arrive
14:36including seizures that actually allow us to collect those fines.
14:42And additionally, because of that recidivism,
14:45We have initiated an administrative process to suspend your driver's license.
14:49In parallel, we also forwarded all the information to the Public Prosecutor's Office
14:54so that they could review the case regarding issues of obstruction on public roads
15:04and also for covering the plaques,
15:07that also has a possible associated crime.
15:10Then, we deployed the entire strategy.
15:13because that type of behavior should not occur in the city,
15:16especially because they put people's lives at risk.
15:20Pedestrians walk there, cyclists ride by,
15:26public transport users that the vehicle put at risk.
15:31So, that shouldn't happen in Bogotá.
15:33But at this time his license is not suspended.
15:35There should be no rule in the country or city
15:39that actually allows, for example, these types of cases,
15:43to subject him to a drastic sanction
15:45Because Mr. Coaparecer is still walking around as if nothing has happened.
15:49It is not possible at this time.
15:51That has a due process.
15:53And this is also very important
15:55that all citizens have sufficient guarantees
15:58in these administrative, criminal, legal processes, in short.
16:04Therefore, the law protects those guarantees.
16:07And in that sense, the process should take some time.
16:11He must appear, he must have the opportunity to defend himself.
16:14In short, we can agree that it's not fair
16:18because he was clearly challenging us
16:22to the authorities with such behavior
16:24which don't really make much sense
16:26because he also put his life at risk
16:28with those dangerous maneuvers
16:30And I don't think it's worth it.
16:32It's not worth putting our own lives at risk.
16:34Maybe for likes, for being popular, it doesn't make sense.
16:40But those are the processes that are already underway.
16:43and we hope they will have results soon.
16:46Okay, secretary, continuing with the topics
16:49related to the secretariat,
16:51You mentioned traffic management plans earlier
16:54associated with the works,
16:56But in many sectors it would seem that those,
16:59or those in charge of those plans are not doing them as they should be
17:05And how does the secretariat enforce it?
17:08In other words, the secretariat lacks maneuverability.
17:10to ensure the traffic management plan is fully implemented
17:12which is what suddenly generates that flow of vehicles
17:15in the city
17:16or what needs to be corrected in those types of plans
17:19taking into account the mobility situation
17:22that the capital has.
17:23We are constantly monitoring the situation.
17:26of those traffic management plans, especially the high-impact ones,
17:30Because, as we were saying, we're a secretariat.
17:33who has limited resources,
17:35that we assume a very big responsibility
17:37in this city of 8 million people
17:39and we also make ourselves valued
17:41of the employers of those contractors.
17:44So, for example,
17:45in the case of the IDU,
17:47those who implement those traffic management plans
17:50They are the contractors of the IDU.
17:51So, we have coordination tables
17:54with entities in the sector, for example,
17:57so that they can effectively demand compliance
18:00of the traffic management plans
18:02and our requirements can be met
18:07in terms of minimal mobility in those sectors.
18:11Some phases are much more complicated than others.
18:16because these works involve
18:19not only the main work,
18:22but generally network relocation,
18:26This involves land management,
18:28It involves intervention in public space.
18:30and all that generally requires
18:32of a closure, of a diversion,
18:35of small, medium, and large traffic management plans
18:39large, of all kinds.
18:40And it's a really complex activity,
18:43But as I said,
18:43We make use of those contractors
18:46like IDU,
18:47such as the Bogotá Metro company,
18:48like UMB,
18:49like the Aqueduct,
18:51Enel, Banti,
18:53the companies that have the most in charge
18:55those PMTs
18:56so that they are fulfilled by their contractors
18:59the authorized parameters.
19:01Otherwise, sanctions.
19:02Of course, they have the power to impose sanctions.
19:05definitely.
19:06And so do we,
19:08in terms of transit and transport.
19:10Well, one way of not giving oneself comfort
19:13as a citizen in this road landscape
19:16It's that in a few years
19:18Well, we're going to have a city
19:19with better flow on its roads
19:22when the works are finished.
19:24But that depends a lot.
19:25that the works meet the schedule.
19:27And in some, for example,
19:29There are delays on Route 68.
19:30In Cali we see what's happening
19:33with the 13th,
19:33that the works do not start.
19:36Today, really,
19:37What they're giving is up to date,
19:40What is the deviation in that schedule?
19:42How are you adjusting along the way?
19:45as if to try to get a little closer
19:47that hope
19:48for better mobility in Bogotá
19:50related to the completion of the works.
19:53The work that has the greatest impact today
19:56in the city
19:56It is the first subway line.
19:58And the first subway line
19:59It's up to date,
20:00It already has 80%,
20:01over 80% progress.
20:05Our expectation,
20:06as the mayor has said,
20:07It's that in the second half
20:09next year
20:10Start the pilot phase of the project
20:11and in the first half of 2028
20:14enter into operation.
20:15That's so far.
20:17He is engaged,
20:19as the mayor has said,
20:20in different scenarios.
20:22Besides,
20:23We have the San Cristóbal Transmicable,
20:25which is already at over 90%
20:27and that Transmilenio, in fact,
20:30is at this moment
20:30in the hiring process
20:32from the system operator
20:33and our expectation
20:35It's about putting it into operation
20:36at the end of this year.
20:37So far,
20:38no setbacks
20:39And that goes up to date.
20:41From there we continued
20:42with Carrera 68 Avenue,
20:44which indeed,
20:45maybe,
20:46is the project
20:47which frustrates us the most.
20:49I believe that as a citizen
20:50and also as public entities,
20:53because it has been a work
20:54very, very complex,
20:56in Bogotá to build,
20:59It has many challenges
21:00through land management
21:02in a city
21:03very well established,
21:05due to the relocation of networks
21:07that sometimes
21:09It gives us surprises.
21:12Aqueduct networks,
21:13gas networks,
21:15power networks,
21:16and to different
21:18problems
21:19that's where they've been presented.
21:22Additionally,
21:23these projects
21:24were structured
21:25in sections.
21:26There are some sections
21:27more advanced
21:28than others.
21:29That too
21:30has been related
21:31with the companies
21:32that have been earned
21:33the sections.
21:34Some have had
21:35better than others.
21:36So,
21:38That's obvious.
21:39in the territory.
21:40Cali,
21:41For example,
21:42also.
21:42Cali
21:43It's at 98%.
21:45forward
21:46in three
21:47of four sections.
21:48One,
21:50unfortunately,
21:50It had to expire.
21:52What are we doing?
21:54Faced with that?
21:55And it's very important
21:56And you're going to start it
21:57Let's see very soon.
21:58Let's begin
21:59to operate
22:00the system
22:00public transport
22:01and mixed traffic
22:03also
22:03custom-made
22:04that they are delivering
22:05gradually
22:07the works.
22:07This is one thing
22:08that this mayor's office
22:10design
22:11as a plan
22:12so as not to have
22:13what to expect
22:13until everyone
22:15the sections
22:15of the works
22:16were completed
22:17but to be able to see
22:19benefits
22:20in that delivery
22:21gradual.
22:21Both of the 68%
22:23like from Cali
22:24We're going to start it
22:24to be seen very soon.
22:26That's a very good one.
22:27news for the city
22:27because already in those sections
22:29There are improvements
22:31speed,
22:32There is greater connectivity
22:33of the system
22:33public transport,
22:35more trips
22:36at higher speed
22:37and a relief
22:39also
22:39because they leave
22:40to remove
22:41the shade nets,
22:42the briefcases
22:42and we're going to take advantage
22:44And enjoy!
22:45of those new routes.
22:47Secretary,
22:47one of the parts
22:48like fed up
22:50of the position
22:50is the part
22:51as an administrator,
22:52the budgets
22:53and so on
22:53and you pass
22:55of Transmilenio
22:56to the Secretariat
22:57Mobility
22:57with a common factor
22:59What is the Fund?
23:00Stabilization
23:01and the enormous deficit
23:03of hollow
23:04that this fund has.
23:07What needs to be done
23:08to treat
23:09to correct it?
23:10If one sees that
23:11the system
23:12It's still working,
23:14There are a lot of people
23:15that is going down
23:16to the motorcycle,
23:16what that impacts
23:18in the figures,
23:18But we're already talking.
23:20of almost 3 billion
23:21of hollow
23:21which continues to grow
23:23year after year,
23:24subtracting as
23:25in the budget
23:25general
23:26in order to be able to invest
23:27on other fronts.
23:28What should be done?
23:30And what's the plan?
23:30to decrease
23:32That hole?
23:34Alex,
23:35I propose to you
23:36that we don't call it
23:37gap
23:37because,
23:38let's see,
23:39This is a
23:41situation
23:41or a feature
23:43of the systems
23:43public transport
23:44like the ones we have here,
23:46as I said
23:46a while ago,
23:47integrated
23:48with a single rate,
23:50with transfers
23:51to zero pesos
23:52that arrives
23:52to every corner
23:54of the city.
23:55I'm going to put them
23:56two examples
23:57comparables.
23:58I'm not going to use
23:58London,
23:59Paris,
23:59Madrid,
24:00not because really
24:01well you
24:02will mean,
24:03No,
24:03That's a different sphere.
24:05No,
24:05Let's talk about Mexico City.
24:07We here,
24:08those 3 billion
24:10that you mention
24:10They are 50%
24:12more or less
24:13of the total costs.
24:15Let's say that
24:16the city puts
24:17so that its citizens
24:19Enjoy
24:20of a system
24:20with full coverage
24:22and integrated
24:2350%
24:24of what it costs
24:25move them.
24:25In Mexico City
24:26they put
24:2780%.
24:28And in Mexico City
24:29They have a subway,
24:31They have BRT,
24:33They have trolleybuses,
24:34They have systems
24:34of cables,
24:35They have all the modes
24:36transport
24:37and to avoid having
24:38to transfer him
24:39the total cost
24:40public transport
24:42to the citizens,
24:43they decide
24:43put 80%
24:45of what it costs
24:46that system.
24:47We put
24:4850%.
24:49If we go to Santiago
24:50from Chile,
24:51which is the other city
24:52which also has
24:52integrated system
24:53like Bogotá
24:54and in fact
24:54more similar
24:55because also
24:56has coverage
24:57total,
24:58We're talking
24:59of a contribution
25:01of the city
25:02that there really
25:03It's the government
25:04national
25:04because of its system
25:05administrative
25:06of between 65%
25:08and 80%
25:09also.
25:10So,
25:10let's say that
25:11It is a feature
25:13very proper
25:14of the system
25:14public transport
25:15that we have
25:16dreamed up in Bogotá.
25:18We could
25:19stop
25:2025 years ago
25:22when we talked
25:23of the truck man
25:25when the system
25:26public transport
25:27It was administered
25:28completely
25:29by the companies
25:30private.
25:30We didn't talk there
25:31of no contribution
25:32of the city,
25:33but it was a system
25:34with a quality
25:35that you each time
25:36that you were changing
25:37by bus
25:37you paid again
25:38that they didn't give you
25:39no type
25:40standard
25:40quality
25:41nor road safety
25:42nor zero emissions
25:43nor chairs
25:44nor hygiene
25:45nor of frequencies,
25:47nothing.
25:47So,
25:47to the extent
25:48in which it is improving
25:49quality
25:49It's a contribution
25:51who decides
25:52give the city
25:53so that its citizens
25:55move
25:56by public transport
25:57with quality.
25:58What are we doing?
26:00So,
26:00That doesn't mean
26:01that it is not
26:02an effort
26:03very important
26:04for Bogotá
26:05and for your budget
26:06general
26:06and it's getting better.
26:08generate more sources
26:10in the sector
26:11mobility.
26:12So,
26:12I don't know if you've heard
26:13over the waves
26:14metropolitan
26:16which are basically
26:19development projects
26:20real estate
26:23transport-oriented
26:24public,
26:24that is to say,
26:25in the environment
26:26of the systems
26:27public transport
26:28that are carried out
26:31in alliance
26:31with the companies
26:32transport operators
26:34which in this case
26:35They are Transmilenio,
26:37Metro,
26:37You can do it too
26:38the IDU
26:39and it can do that too
26:40the Terminal.
26:42Those projects
26:43they must,
26:44let's say,
26:45contribute to the city
26:46a part
26:48of the resources
26:49of the project,
26:51of what is earned
26:52because of being close
26:52to public transport
26:53and by the regulations
26:55which is called
26:55from PRUMS
26:56And that's what we see
26:58in the world
26:59which begins
27:00really
27:00to be a source
27:01important
27:02to pay
27:03this that they cost
27:05the systems
27:05public transport.
27:06That's already happening
27:08in Bogotá,
27:09Transmilenio already
27:09has the first
27:10project this year
27:11on the ground
27:13of the district
27:14and the first
27:14project on land
27:16private
27:17And that's what
27:18really
27:18it's going to change
27:19where from
27:20come from
27:20those resources.
27:22We also need
27:23much support
27:23of the national government.
27:24To the extent
27:25in which we pay
27:26the investments,
27:28the rolling stock,
27:29civil works
27:30and let's take them out
27:32of the technical tariff,
27:34that begins
27:35to relieve
27:36that FED
27:36in a way
27:37very important.
27:39We already achieved
27:39the first project
27:40in this government
27:41for the fleet
27:42electric
27:42of Transmilenio
27:43and we hope
27:44May that continue
27:45the methodology
27:46work
27:46with the government
27:47national.
27:48Because that's why
27:48one has heard
27:49that the technical tariff
27:50and the user's
27:51on Transmilenio
27:52promptly
27:53I even think that
27:54until before
27:54of the pandemic
27:55I was almost
27:56balanced.
27:57On the BRT.
27:58On Transmilenio,
28:00No,
28:00because the UVE,
28:01well,
28:01the deficit
28:02great has been
28:03always
28:03in the Zonal.
28:05But it's because
28:06the Zonal
28:06is the one who arrives
28:07to every corner.
28:08That is to say,
28:09if you think
28:10this as
28:10of higher density
28:12at lower density,
28:13lower density
28:14well you move
28:15fewer passengers
28:16per kilometer.
28:17So,
28:18It is less efficient.
28:19But our responsibility
28:21as an audience
28:22is arriving
28:23everywhere.
28:24So,
28:24even if it is not
28:26efficient
28:27economically,
28:28we have
28:29to carry out the service
28:30to every corner
28:31from Bogotá.
28:31And that's why
28:32I wouldn't want to
28:34that it is criticized
28:36that service
28:37because really
28:38it is necessary
28:39and one never
28:40can arrive
28:41not even with a big bus
28:42not even with a train
28:43to the neighborhood.
28:45That's clear.
28:46but also
28:47There is a reality
28:48and it is the relationship
28:49with the operators
28:50so much so that
28:51an attempt was made
28:52with the song
28:53Well,
28:54try to have
28:55access to that information
28:56to really know
28:57the figures
28:58what lies behind
28:59of the operation
28:59public transport
29:00in Bogotá.
29:01How's it going?
29:02that idea
29:03to revive
29:05or to revitalize
29:05or legalize
29:06the song
29:07to have
29:08an adjustment
29:09more accurate
29:11of what they are
29:11the rates
29:12and the negotiations
29:12with private operators?
29:14That's going very well.
29:15And I'm going to give you
29:16a news
29:16fabulous
29:17or two news items
29:18fabulous
29:19which are the ones that
29:19really
29:20They move the needle
29:20of the costs.
29:22Transmilenio
29:22in June
29:25awarded
29:26a tender
29:28of which
29:29used resources
29:29co-financing
29:30of the government
29:31national
29:31for the 269
29:33electric buses
29:35articulated
29:35and bi-articulated
29:36in which
29:37It was achieved
29:38what is needed
29:40to really
29:40lower costs
29:41and it is
29:42plurality
29:43of bidders
29:44competence
29:45they arrived
29:46three proponents
29:48the budget
29:49ended up being
29:5120%
29:51elderly
29:52what he came to
29:53the offer
29:53that was awarded
29:55so
29:56the way
29:57so that
29:58really
29:58we're talking
29:59costs
30:00efficient
30:00is that we have
30:02plurality
30:02of bidders
30:03a market
30:04who wants
30:05participate
30:05that there is
30:06trust
30:06competitive
30:07the same
30:08It's happening
30:09right now
30:09with the operation
30:10of the transmissible
30:10of San Cristóbal
30:11they arrived
30:12five
30:12bidders
30:13so
30:14to the extent
30:15in which it
30:15structure well
30:16the projects
30:17in what
30:18the market
30:19have an appetite
30:20and have
30:21many actors
30:22in the market
30:23like the song
30:24because what
30:24we always
30:25we have said
30:26is
30:26the song
30:27He is an actor
30:27which is relevant
30:29to move
30:30the market
30:31to generate
30:31competence
30:32so that
30:33Transmilenio
30:33structure
30:35better projects
30:36and so
30:37we can achieve
30:38these efficiencies
30:39I mean
30:3920%
30:40of a budget
30:41is a number
30:42very relevant
30:43and it is a
30:44great success
30:45that had
30:46Transmilenio
30:46and?
30:47if we continue
30:48implementing
30:48the projects
30:49that way
30:50That's the way
30:51also to do
30:52competitive costs
30:53and efficient
30:54and the song
30:56continues to operate
30:57the song
30:59as we have said
31:00she can
31:01continue lending
31:02its corporate purpose
31:03the district
31:05proposed
31:06twice
31:07in the council
31:08sanitation
31:10of the legal defect
31:11that it has today
31:12the company
31:13the council
31:14well, in none
31:16of the two cases
31:16vote
31:17and in that sense
31:18that vice
31:20It's still there
31:21There are other cases
31:23in the country
31:24equal
31:25and the companies
31:26they keep walking
31:27we wanted
31:29solve it
31:30But it's not.
31:31It is not completely
31:32autonomous
31:33the district
31:34in that solution
31:35so
31:35We've been together for a while
31:37already trying
31:38to find
31:38another proposal
31:39another solution
31:40but
31:41There we have
31:43a partner
31:43also that it is in him
31:44so
31:45any decision
31:46that we take
31:47at that company
31:48It has to be agreed upon
31:49with that partner
31:50It has not been possible
31:51still arrive
31:52to an agreement
31:52and in that sense
31:53has not been presented
31:55no proposal
31:56additional
31:56It's a task
31:57in which we continue
31:58working
31:58but the peace
32:00that I want to leave
32:01is
32:01the song
32:02you can continue
32:02lending
32:03its corporate purpose
32:04without any problem
32:06in the situation
32:07in which it is located
32:08because
32:09That's a question
32:10that I don't understand
32:11if there is an order
32:11from the court
32:13for
32:13what happens
32:14is that the order
32:15it's not
32:16that society
32:17stop lending
32:18its object
32:19social
32:21the order
32:22or what
32:22let's say
32:23the ruling
32:24what it says
32:24the thing is
32:25Transmilenio
32:26as a shareholder
32:27It does not have
32:28the authorization
32:29to be
32:30shareholder
32:30and that generates
32:32a vice
32:33that in law
32:34I am not a lawyer
32:34but
32:35I had to learn
32:35a lot
32:36is called
32:37a nullity
32:38relative
32:39that nullity
32:40relative
32:41many lawyers
32:42They agree
32:43with this
32:43and there is still one
32:44very position
32:45consolidated
32:46which also
32:47rests
32:48in the documents
32:49of Transmilenio
32:50They agree
32:51in that
32:51it does not affect
32:52the benefit
32:53of the corporate purpose
32:54of society
32:55in society
32:56It still exists
32:58the other partner
32:59which is in him
32:59Transmilenio
33:00with a vice
33:01that should
33:03solve
33:03eventually
33:04but not
33:05prevents
33:05that society
33:06continue lending
33:07its corporate purpose
33:09perfect
33:10I'm starting a new year
33:10the change
33:11tariff
33:11It generated a lot of noise.
33:12because obviously
33:14It grew more
33:15of what some
33:16they thought
33:17that should grow
33:18How will it be structured?
33:20or it will be adjusted
33:21in the future
33:22that rate
33:24taking into account
33:25what they are
33:25subsidies
33:26population
33:27beneficiary
33:28of limited resources
33:29I mean
33:30What plan do they have?
33:31so that that rate
33:33do not generate
33:34so much impact
33:34in the users
33:35and have a plan
33:37much more organized
33:38and don't turn unexpectedly.
33:39to the citizens
33:39at the beginning of the year?
33:42Let's see
33:43what happened
33:43this year
33:44was closely related
33:45with the increase
33:46surprising
33:48of the minimum wage
33:49what's happening
33:50with the costs
33:52of the system
33:52public transport?
33:54they have a behavior
33:55very similar
33:56to other costs
33:57of the family basket
33:58such as
33:59the rent
34:00such as
34:01the administration
34:03of the building
34:04such as
34:06the services
34:06surveillance
34:07That has
34:08let's say
34:09in the system
34:09public transport
34:1020%
34:12of the whole
34:12of the costs
34:13grows
34:14directly
34:15with the minimum wage
34:16so
34:17What happened?
34:18that the minimum wage
34:19grew
34:21a lot more
34:22of what we
34:22we project
34:23last year
34:24and in that sense
34:25we had to do
34:26an adjustment
34:28additional
34:29of the tariff
34:29to the user
34:30which additionally
34:31It didn't go up
34:33everything we needed
34:35so that it would cover
34:36the deficit
34:37additional
34:38that generated
34:39the minimum wage
34:40but only
34:41half
34:43so
34:44That was the noise
34:45really
34:46because
34:46since November
34:48from last year
34:48we had
34:49presented
34:50a scenario
34:51with an increase
34:52which he considered
34:54less than half
34:54of what really
34:55the minimum wage increased
34:57and as we were talking
34:58until a moment ago
34:59for us
35:00It is very important
35:01maintain a balance
35:02among the income
35:03of the system
35:03and the costs
35:04to guarantee
35:05the benefit
35:06of the service
35:06and
35:08the costs
35:09of the system
35:10transport
35:10public
35:11with the sources
35:12of the district
35:12the sources
35:13of the sector
35:13mobility
35:14let's say that
35:16They are not that flexible
35:17to cover
35:18these differences
35:19sudden
35:20and in that sense
35:21Well, we had to do
35:22an additional adjustment
35:23us
35:24We are working
35:25at the moment
35:26with the Secretariat
35:26Treasury
35:27with Transmilenio
35:28with the company
35:29Metro
35:29in
35:31leave
35:32a joint
35:34between the entities
35:35to build
35:35a policy
35:36tariff
35:37Let it continue
35:39taking into account
35:39the capacity
35:40paid
35:41sustainability
35:42of the system
35:42which is very important
35:44the populations
35:45vulnerable
35:46you know
35:47for the first time
35:48in Bogotá
35:49since last year
35:50we implement
35:51politics
35:52of the passages
35:53free
35:53for populations
35:54vulnerable
35:55that continues
35:56today
35:57a reality
35:58in Bogotá
35:58for populations
36:00with a disability
36:01CISBEN
36:02and older adults
36:03They have a number

36:47how they give
36:47those efforts
36:48And what happened?
36:49with the Regio Tram
36:50northern
36:51all this
36:52also with a challenge
36:54and it is integration
36:55tariff
36:55what is the
36:57panorama
36:58of all this
36:59bouquet
37:00of works
37:00that are coming
37:01in Bogotá
37:03and the region
37:04our goal
37:05It's that the system
37:06public transport
37:07of the city
37:07in its component
37:08urban
37:09on the front line

37:12integrated
37:13let it be
37:13an experience
37:15easy and accessible
37:16for users
37:17and in that sense
37:18in fact
37:19the work
37:20of the Secretariat
37:21Mobility
37:21is to coordinate
37:22to the different
37:23actors
37:23so that
37:24That will be the result
37:26when the first line
37:27of the subway
37:28enters into operation
37:29let it be
37:30a mode of transport
37:31that integrates
37:32to the current ones
37:33to Transmilenio
37:34Transmisonal
37:35a Transmicable
37:36that for the user
37:37be transparent
37:39that can move
37:40one way or another
37:41with great ease
37:42with the region
37:44We are also working
37:45so that
37:47we can
37:48also offer
37:49a trip
37:49integrated
37:50integration
37:51tariff
37:52with the region
37:52not total
37:54They're going to have
37:55some rates
37:56and we
37:56well, a rate
37:58as a city
38:00and we are working
38:01so that
38:01to the extent
38:02of what is possible
38:03the users
38:03can use
38:04the same medium
38:05paid
38:05so that
38:06in the infrastructure
38:07traffic
38:09of the users
38:09among some
38:10mos and others
38:11also be easy
38:14But that's an effort.
38:15with many challenges
38:17as you can imagine
38:17These are projects
38:18infrastructure
38:19complex
38:20with a big impact
38:21in the city
38:22what he told us
38:23the company
38:24Ferrer Regional
38:24which belongs to the governor's office
38:26from Cundinamarca
38:27It's because the Regiotram
38:28of the West
38:29They're going to put it on
38:30to operate
38:30in a phase 1
38:32in an initial phase
38:33until the race
38:34129
38:35next year
38:36and more or less
38:38in 2029
38:39the project already
38:41would become operational
38:43complete
38:43the Regiotram
38:44northern
38:45It is also a project
38:46of great interest
38:47for Bogotá
38:47because we
38:48also
38:49we are looking for
38:50that mobility
38:51regional
38:52improve
38:53however
38:54there too
38:55we have had
38:55some discussions
38:57complex
38:57because we
38:58need
39:00that project
39:00may it also be
39:01the best
39:01for Bogotá
39:02and still
39:03we have there
39:04some concerns
39:06and some observations
39:07that we continue
39:08working
39:08with the governorship
39:09from Cundinamarca
39:10and with his advisors
39:11to solve
39:13and?

39:16a good solution
39:17for Bogotá
