Colombia: Protesters cause traffic disruptions in Bogota May 11

Protesting rickshaw drivers cause traffic disruptions in northern Bogota, Colombia, the morning of May 11. Avoid protests as a precaution.

Warning

Event

Protesting cycle rickshaw drivers are causing significant traffic disruptions in the north of Bogota early May 11. 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.

Advice

Avoid all protests as a precaution. Allow additional time or plan for alternative routes to reach destinations if operating in the area on May 11. Heed instructions from authorities.
