With less than 36 hours to go before the Christmas celebration begins, Colombians are packing their bags and revving up to travel and visit their loved ones who live in other cities in the national territory. About, The Directorate of Transit and Transport (Ditra) expects that more than 906,413 passengers travel from the transport terminals in 100,712 vehicles, in private vehicles the passage of 2.9 million vehicles is estimated (toll crossing).
(Costs to consider if you’re going to be traveling by road.)
“Our recommendation to travelers and drivers is to respect traffic regulations, do not exceed speed limits, do not drive drunk and check the state of the roads through #767. If you are going to travel by inter-municipal transport, we ask you to do so from the transport terminals. To encourage this, together with the Superintendence of Transportation we are launching the campaign “Let’s fight the virus of illegality”, so that we all travel in a safe and formal environment”, said the Minister of Transportation, Guillermo Reyes.
For his part, the director of Transit and Transportation of the National Police, General Wilson Javier González, assured that in order to provide security to travelers during this Christmas season, they have arranged 5,600 men on the tracks, “guaranteeing the behavior and biosecurity measures of travelers”.

Finally, Ayda Lucy Ospina, Superintendent of Transportation, indicated: “From the entity we call on users who board inter-municipal transport in the vicinity of land transport terminals, because with this they contribute to illegality, they expose themselves to being victims of theft in its different modalities, loss of luggage and even exposing themselves to the flagellum of scopolamine. All this can be avoided by boarding the vehicles arranged inside the duly authorized transport terminals”.
