Transcaribe
Transcaribe is a bus rapid transit system which operates in the city of Cartagena, Colombia, and was inaugurated in March 2016. It consists of 16 stations, and centers around a dedicated bus lane along Avenida Pedro de Heredia from the El Portal terminal to the city's old town. For the first two months after it opened,, the system was free to encourage ridership. Transcaribe's 150-passenger articulated buses are powered by compressed natural gas. Unlike Colombia's older BRT systems in Bogotá and Pereira, Transcaribe was designed to offer hybrid service on bus lanes and city streets; this eliminated the need to change buses on routes to Crespo, Bocagrande, and Cartagena's southeastern suburbs.
