FIRST LINE OF THE BOGOTA METROPOLITAN RAILWAY The capital will have a metro system. It is an infrastructure project that will change mo- bility in the coming years. The first line will have 23.96 kilometres of track layout and 16 stations - ten of them will have direct and integrated connection with the TransMi-

The route will run southeast to northeast and will pass through Avenida Villavicencio, Primero de Mayo-where it will connect with the NQS and Calle Octava-and then with Avenida Primera until it reaches its final destination. This line will have an estimated cost of 4.347 billion dollars (3.851 billion euros). It should be noted that it has the backing of the European Investment Bank (EIB), which will finance 480 million dollars (425 million euros).

Along the route, there will be 14 stations until the line reaches José María Córdova airport. It is estimated that the system will transport around 500,000 passengers per day. With regard to rolling stock, it is planned to acquire a fleet of 28 cars that will be operated without a driver, at an average speed of 38 kilometres per hour.
