“The goal to be achieved with actions such as the implementation of 83,000 public and private bicycle parking spaces, the creation of 59 km of bicycle infrastructure, the conservation of 1,120,000 m² of sidewalks and the expansion of the Integrated Public Transport System (Sitp) with 143 km of trunk lines, which will ensure greater coverage and efficiency in public transport,” says the secretariat in a report published by Infobae.
In accordance with the above and in a historic decision, the Bogotá Council approved the inclusion of bicycles in the Integrated Public Transport System (Sitp).
