Participants have blocked traffic in and out of the Transmilenio Portal de Suba bus station from 07:00. The disruptions have also led to the temporary suspension of public bus services via the Campina, TV 91, and 21 Angeles bus stations. The protesters' demands remain unclear at this time.
Significant transport disruptions in the area are likely to continue in the coming hours. Heightened security in the area is likely, and clashes between police and demonstrators cannot be ruled out.
