The lines of Tranv\u00eda:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The only Tranv\u00eda operates from Downtown at the San Antonio station to the Oriente station<\/strong> (dark green line on the photo below). Even if it has a rather small extension (only 4,2 km and 9 stations), it also gives access to two Metrocable<\/a> lines and to the Metroplus<\/a> line 2. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The Tranv\u00eda in Medell\u00edn is connected to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is a feeding system<\/strong> built around the two original metro lines. For example, you can take a Metropl\u00fas bus to the station Industriales and then shift to the Metro without any extra fee. So basically, all of these public transportation modes complement each other<\/strong>. That way, the majority of Medell\u00edn is covered by transports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, shifting from one type of transport to another can sometimes result in additional costs. For instance, the integrated system of feeding buses called “integrados<\/strong>” charge you an additional fee of around 400 COP (0,13\u20ac). You can see the complete system in the map of the bus lines. The most up-to-date one you can find is on this site.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n The standard fare for a Metro trip in Medell\u00edn is 2,855 COP (0,70\u20ac)<\/strong>. However, if you use the C\u00edvica card<\/a>, you will save 295 COP (0,08\u20ac) and only have to pay 2,355 COP<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Furthermore, when for example, you have to take not only the Metro but also an integrated bus or a feeder, there may be additional charges. But whatever your route is, the most expensive trip costs 3,665 COP<\/strong> (1.17\u20ac). You will never pay more. That fare applies when you have to take an integrated bus, the Metro and another integrated one again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The C\u00edvica card<\/a> is a card that gives you access to the Metro System of Medell\u00edn (Metro<\/a>, Metropl\u00fas<\/a>, Tranv\u00eda<\/a>, Metrocable<\/a>, Encicla<\/a> y algunos buses<\/a>). Although it is not mandatory to use it, it\u2019s cheaper<\/strong> and the card is rechargeable <\/strong>with any amount. Besides, you don\u2019t have to wait in the queue<\/strong> in the stations to buy tickets and you can make transport shifts without extra costs<\/strong>. The card itself hasn\u2019t any costs either. Also, it gives you access to the Encicla system<\/a> and makes traveling on many of the integrated routes a lot easier. Also, you can get a personalized one with your ID or passport in the stations San Antonio<\/strong>, Niqu\u00eda<\/strong>, Itag\u00fci<\/strong> and San Javier <\/strong>without any costs in the time of Monday – Friday: 6:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m., or Saturday from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Monday-Saturday:<\/strong> The transportation system already has a big network in the city due to its integration with different modes of transport. But, regarding the Strategic Plan of Medell\u00edn, there is more to come. The goal is to expand the network until 2020: The Tranv\u00eda – A modern urban transport The Tranv\u00eda is a tram in Downtown Medell\u00edn that has only one line so far (but with more to come). However, it is part of Medell\u00edn\u2019s plan to expand its infrastructure in order to make transports accessible to people from all social levels. Actually, public transportation in Medell\u00edn … Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":10649,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9038","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-medellin-blog-vico-en","category-public-transportation-medellin"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/getvico.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9038","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/getvico.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/getvico.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/getvico.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/getvico.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9038"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/getvico.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9038\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":15715,"href":"https:\/\/getvico.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9038\/revisions\/15715"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/getvico.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10649"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/getvico.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9038"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/getvico.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9038"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/getvico.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9038"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"The](\"http:\/\/friendsofmedellin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Bildschirmfoto-2017-06-16-um-11.29.31.png\" "\\"\\"")
