- vinceguidry 7y agoTransMilenio is definitely a nice system, but they built it because they felt it would be cheaper than a traditional metro system, like Medellin's. I definitely preferred Medellin's system over TM. But TM is definitely novel.
- jacquesm 7y agoTM cost a very small fraction of what a metro system would have cost, it is not that they 'felt' that way, it simply is like that. They also did it pretty quickly and are expanding all over the city. What drawbacks there are are mostly due to its success, overcrowding and so on. It's also not the safest place, but it being Colombia that not exactly news. Still, something like the TM would work just fine in many West European and American cities.
