Colombia's national infrastructure agency ANI is to hold a public hearing on 16 December to gather expressions of interests for the 43.9 kilometre western corridor of Bogotá's light rail (LRT) project.
The two-line LRT system is expected to cost around US$605 million and would stretch between the central station of the Sabana railway to a station located in the municipality of Facatativá.
A total of 17 stations are planned for the corridor as well as a branch line to the airport. Around 71.5 million passengers a year are expected to travel along the corridor.
Construction of the public-private partnership project is forecast to take 36 months, with the system estimated to be operational by 2018.
