disadvantages

1. It is more polluting than a system of electric light rail or trolleybus.

2. They say it has lower capacity and speed relative to the subway. However some trunks have more
passengers per hour than most metros in the world.

3. Problems with the traffic because it shares part of the tracks and is susceptible to accidents and
deadlocks with other vehicles at intersections.

4. The displacement of weight on wheels makes streets slabs and deteriorate easily.

5. Due to the above joined traffic problems make buses can not maintain a timed schedule.

6. Lack of extensive exchange between trunk stations (13th Street and Military School).

7. Stations tour with over 500 meters of travel on foot (Ricaurte).

8. ACCESOS by pedestrian bridge with long runs, averaging 200 m between the bus and the platform,
and lack of direct access via direct avenues in most stations crossing.

9. Little internal space and access on buses joined not have an entry and exit generates disadvantages
when entering or exiting the bus at peak hours.

time (1 hour 30 minutes on average) for a passenger to move from one site north of the city or one of the
south, this does not include the waiting time at the stations. An underground train could make similar tours
in just 30 minutes.

11. The entrance to the articulated during rush hour has major drawbacks, mainly due to the accumulation
of passengers at the gates and guides for users to adopt mechanisms such as rows to reduce the chaos
that occurs in some stations and portals.

12. Due to the high amount of accumulated people in an articulated, there is a risk of theft arto.

13. Little Coverage System In The City.

14. Insecurity by the Excess Users in vehicles.
