Transcaribe is a bus rapid transit (BRT) system which operates in the city of Cartagena, Colombia, and was inaugurated in March 2016.^[1] It consists of 16 stations, and centers around a dedicated 10.5 kilometres (6.5 mi) bus lane along Avenida Pedro de Heredia from the El Portal terminal to the city's old town.^[1] For the first two months after it opened, (November and December 2015), the system was free to encourage ridership. Transcaribe's 150-passenger articulated buses are powered by compressed natural gas.^[1] Unlike Colombia's older BRT systems in Bogotá (Transmileno) and Pereira, Transcaribe was designed to offer hybrid service (pretroncal) on bus lanes and city streets; this eliminated the need to change buses on routes to Crespo, Bocagrande, and Cartagena's southeastern suburbs.^[1]
