New attempted robbery on cycle route of Calle 26 tunnel with Boyacá Avenue: recorded

A theft attempt targeting a person riding an electric scooter was recorded on video during the night of October 4th in Bogotá. The incident occurred at the exit of one of the tunnels along the cycle path of Calle 26, near Avenida Boyacá. The victim, using a camera attached to their scooter, captured the event where three men blocked their path, causing them to lose control and fall. One of the suspects took the scooter and began fleeing while another approached the victim.

A new attempted theft targeting a person riding an electric scooter occurred along the bike path tunnel of Calle 26 near Avenida Boyacá in Bogotá on Sunday, October 4. The incident was recorded on video, capturing the sequence of events as they unfolded. The victim, who was traveling on an electric scooter, exited one of the tunnels and encountered three men walking along the bike path. One of them blocked the victim’s path, causing the scooter to lose control and the rider to fall to the ground. Another suspect took the scooter and began fleeing while the third approached the victim, attempting to restrain her. The victim ran away, eventually reaching the exclusive bus lane used by TransMilenio. The situation changed when the victim activated a remote control device, which reportedly prevented the suspects from continuing with the stolen scooter. Moments later, the suspects fled in different directions, leaving the scooter abandoned on the bike path. The victim returned to retrieve the scooter and appeared in the recording interacting with a TransMilenio driver, who seemed to address her after the incident. The victim pointed toward the roadside, indicating the direction one of the suspects had taken. The footage was shared by the social media account “Pasa en Bogotá,” which received the citizen report and urged caution in the area. The post also highlighted previous reports of other thefts and violent incidents in the vicinity, though authorities will need to investigate each case individually. The video provides a clear depiction of how the suspects were ultimately forced to abandon their attempt and flee the scene. The incident underscores ongoing safety concerns in the area, particularly for cyclists and pedestrians. While the immediate focus remains on resolving this specific case, the broader issue of security in Bogotá's transportation corridors continues to draw attention. Authorities have yet to comment publicly on the incident or provide further details on the investigation.

For every pilot on 13th Street Avenue, 14 SITP routes are changed.

El gobierno de Bogotá ha implementado un piloto de cambio en el tráfico de la Avenida Calle 13, modificando los sentidos viales y los retornos durante un mes para reducir las largas colas que alcanzan hasta siete kilómetros en ese sector. Como parte de esta medida, se han ajustado 14 rutas del Sistema Integrado de Transporte Público (SITP). Las rutas afectadas incluyen cambios en sus trayectorias, como desviaciones por la Carrera 116 o la Avenida Centenario, con el objetivo de optimizar el flujo de tráfico. La prueba busca evaluar el impacto de estos ajustes en el volumen de vehículos, los tiempos de desplazamiento y el comportamiento general del tránsito en el área. Los resultados del mes de prueba serán usados para decidir si se mantienen o modifican las medidas.
