This project involves the development of a public rail passenger transportation system that will connect Bogotá with municipalities that make up the Sabana de Occidente region such as Funza, Mosquera, Madrid, and Facatativá in the department of Cundinamarca. The project features 39.6 km of railway, of which 14.7 will be located in the urban area of ​​Bogotá and will include the construction of 17 stations (8 in the municipalities of Sabana Occidente).
