Bogotá Metro Guides

Verified answers to the most common questions about Line 1, with a source for every fact. Where EMB hasn't announced something yet, we say so plainly instead of guessing.

• When does it open?

  Test run expected September 2027, commercial opening expected March 2028, per EMB — and why these dates are forecasts, not promises.

• Fares

  No separate metro fare — it plugs into the SITP fare system via the TuLlave card. The current SITP fare, for reference.

• Schedule

  EMB hasn't announced hours or frequency yet. Here's what's actually known about the trains — and why that isn't a timetable.

• How it works

  Driverless trains, CBTC signaling, standard-gauge track, and full accessibility: the technical specs behind Line 1.

• Line 1 Travel Time Calculator

  Pick a departure and arrival station to estimate how long a trip would take on Bogotá Metro Line 1. The system isn't running commercially yet — commercial opening is expected in March 2028 — so this is a planning estimate, not a real timetable.
