The TransMilenio (a form of Rapid bus transport) is the best way to go from one place to another. Since all buses donêt stop at every place, the route has to be worked out in advance. Athough each trip costs 1,700 COP a ticket at peak hours and 1,400 COP otherwise, you can jump between stations if you haven't left the station. Keep an eye for pickpockets while using this mode of transport. Privately owned buses and busetas (1500 COP during the day, 1550 COP at night) can be caught by waving them down. They follow specific routes which is listed on cards on the front window. If you need to reach someplace quickly, use the Colectivos.
