| [[33|TransMiCable]] is a cable car system in Bogota, Colombia, primarily designed to facilitate easier access for [[14|residents]] of Ciudad Bolívar from the mountaintop to the foot of the mountain. The cable cars utilize electrically driven cable technology, resulting in zero emissions and seamlessly integrating with Colombia's power grid (70% powered by renewable hydropower)(TransMilenio S.A., 2018). | [[33|TransMiCable]] is a cable car system in Bogota, Colombia, primarily designed to facilitate easier access for [[14|residents]] of Ciudad Bolívar from the mountaintop to the foot of the mountain.

| [[33|TransMiCable]] forms part of Bogotá's integrated public transport system, having facilitated [[14|residents’]] journeys since its completion (TransMilenio S.A., 2018). However, behind the construction project—completed in just 26 months with a USD$100 million investment for the city's mass transit system (Maricio Osorio, 2019)—[[27|waste]] has been generated. This includes [[27|observable]] waste from vehicles and [[36|tyres]] post-completion, which cannot be overlooked. Indeed, the project's convenience has had negligible impact on compulsory activities (Cardona-Urrea, Soza-Parra and Ettema, 2025) and has not altered social structures or deeper societal aspects. While one cannot demand such outcomes from a transport project, it still warrants reflection on its underlying implications. | [[33|TransMiCable]] forms part of Bogotá's integrated public transport system, having facilitated [[14|residents’]] journeys since its completion (TransMilenio S.A., 2018).
