Bogotá Metro Line 1 Targets 2028 Opening

After more than 80 years of proposals, Bogotá's first metro line, an elevated 24km driverless railway, is targeted to carry its first passengers in 2028.

Mayor Carlos Fernando Galán confirmed on 2 September 2026 that Bogotá Metro Line 1 will carry first passengers on 15 March 2028, with the project more than 80% complete^[2][3]
Line 1 is an elevated, standard-gauge line of about 24 km and 16 stations, running from the southwest to central and northeastern Bogotá^[2][3]
Track installation is to finish in January, and construction is expected complete in September 2027, when trial operation begins^[2]
Trains are driverless (GOA 4), six cars each, carrying nearly 1,800 passengers, with platform screen doors^[2]
Construction started in October 2020; Bogotá has no rail service and relies on TransMilenio buses^[3]
The idea was first raised in 1942, and the project was repeatedly delayed, with an earlier 2021 inauguration estimate and the Carrusel de la Contratación scandal^[2][3]
