TransMilenio Adds 10 Electric Articulated Buses to Bogota’s Fleet

Bogota's TransMilenio bus rapid transit system has introduced 10 fully electric articulated buses to its fleet. Manufactured by China's Yutong, each bus can carry up to 160 passengers and travel over 280 kilometers on a single charge. The electric buses, which went into service on November 6, 2026, are part of a larger effort to modernize Bogota's bus network and expand electric operations.

The vehicles come equipped with Wi-Fi, USB ports, a wheelchair space, an area for assistance dogs, and a baby stroller, as well as safety features like blind-spot monitoring, interior and exterior cameras, and telematics systems. The buses underwent testing on the Calle 26 corridor before entering service. For passengers, the new electric buses offer quieter operation, zero tailpipe emissions, and Wi-Fi and USB ports for device charging.

Drivers, such as Alejandro Porras, have noted that the transition to electric buses is a significant improvement. As of November 6, 2026, Bogota had 1,767 fully electric buses in its integrated public transport system, with the 10 new electric buses included among articulated and dual-articulated vehicles operating on both the trunk network and zonal network.
