Bogotá introduces new transmilenios- longest buses in the world

Bogota's public transit system Transmilenio Thursday introduced five new buses that are the longest worldwide.

The red buses have a capacity of 260 passengers. The authorities hope to reduce the congestion of the city in this way, local media reported.

The 40-tons buses are equipped with the latest technology (fuel efficiency) and safety of passengers.

The new means of transport run between the stations Virrey and las Flores.

Bogota certainly is in the forefront of mass transportation with outside the box thinking.

Guess cause the locals have to get pushed around in them every day, they never seem to appreciate my outsider fascination with them. I feel like I am at DisneyWorld when I ride those hellacool buses.

traveling hopefully is always better than arriving
