Bogotá Metro Schedule: What We Know So Far
Last updated: July 2026
Empresa Metro de Bogotá (EMB) has not announced operating hours or a final train frequency for Line 1. If you see a specific schedule elsewhere — say, "4:30 a.m. to 11:00 p.m." — treat it as an unofficial estimate, not a confirmed EMB figure. You won't find that kind of invented number here.
What's actually known: technical specs
These are verifiable technical facts today, according to Empresa Metro de Bogotá / Alcaldía de Bogotá. They suggest the system is designed for high-frequency operation — but they are not, by themselves, a schedule.
- Automation
- GoA4 (fully automatic, driverless)
- Trains planned
- 30
- Capacity per train
- 1800 passengers
- Fare collection
- Integrated with SITP (see the fares guide)
Why this isn't a schedule
These technical specs determine what the system CAN do, not what EMB will actually decide operationally. Real service hours and train frequency are operational decisions EMB typically confirms closer to launch, not years in advance.
When will the final schedule be announced?
Likely closer to the expected test run (September 2027). We'll update this page as soon as EMB makes an official announcement — until then, any specific schedule you see elsewhere is unconfirmed.
Reference schedule: TransMilenio today
The metro doesn't have its own announced schedule yet (see above). As a reference, here are today's actual operating hours for the TransMilenio/SITP system — the network Line 1 will integrate with via shared fare collection —, according to TransMilenio S.A.:
| Day | Hours |
|---|---|
| Monday to Friday | 04:00–23:00 |
| Saturday | 05:00–23:00 |
| Sunday and holidays | 05:00–22:00 |

These are TransMilenio/SITP's current operating hours — not a projection or confirmation of the metro's future schedule, which EMB has not yet announced (subject to change, per the official source).

Frequently asked questions
What are the Bogotá Metro operating hours?
Not yet announced by Empresa Metro de Bogotá. Any specific hours circulating on other sites are an unofficial estimate.
How often will trains run (frequency)?
Also not announced. What is known is that the system will run 30 fully automated (GoA4) trains, which technically allows for high frequency — without that being a confirmed frequency.
When will the final schedule be known?
Likely close to the expected test run in September 2027. This guide will be updated once EMB makes an official announcement.
