Bogota's metro system will permit pets to travel with their owners once Line 1 opens in 2028, following rules similar to those already in place for other forms of public transit. During a recent test run, a German shepherd named Hashi was seen safely riding the elevated tracks alongside a handler in a harness and leash. The city's Integrated Public Transportation System (SITP) currently allows animals on buses and cable cars, with dogs of medium and large sizes needing to wear a collar, stay on the floor, and be under direct control at all times.
Special handling pets require an adult handler and muzzle. All pets must carry a vaccination card and are limited to one companion at a time. While the specific metro rules have not yet been published, they are expected to mirror the existing bus and cable car policies, providing continuity and reassurance for pet owners.
