In a significant move towards sustainable mobility in Barranquilla, Promigas and Gases del Caribe have supported the renewal of the city’s Transmetro public transport fleet.
This effort, in collaboration with the Mayor’s Office, City Management, Metropolitan Area, Transmetro, local transport operators, Skandia and Marcopolo, marks a major public-private initiative for cleaner urban mobility.
The first phase includes 40 new buses, combining articulated (140-passenger capacity) and standard (90-passenger) models.
All units feature EURO VI natural gas technology, reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 16% and significantly improving air quality.
Clean, comfortable and high-tech buses
The new vehicles are equipped with efficient air conditioning, 100% electronic fare collection, facial recognition cameras and driver fatigue monitoring systems, Wi-Fi and USB charging ports, and full accessibility for people with disabilities and users with assistance dogs.
This advanced fleet achieves a 99% reduction in particulate matter emissions and a 30% cut in greenhouse gas emissions, positioning Barranquilla as a leader in clean public transportation in Colombia.
A joint commitment to the city’s future
This initiative showcases the collective effort of public and private stakeholders committed to environmental responsibility and sustainable development.
By the end of 2025, 40 additional articulated buses are expected to arrive, further strengthening a safe, clean and inclusive transport system for the people of Barranquilla.
