Structure

[edit]

The system is similar to TransMilenio in Bogotá. An additional set of regular buses, known as alimentadores (feeders), carries users from certain important stations to different locations that the main route does not reach. Unlike the main TransMilenio buses, feeders are not operated with dedicated lanes, are not articulated, and are yellow (regular Megabús buses are green). There is no additional fare in order to use the feeder buses.
