Can someone define "bi-articulated"? I thought it was a bus with two sections and an accordian swingy-thing in the middle, which the TransMilenio buses certainly have. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Adamk (talk • contribs) 19:53, 16 March 2004 (UTC)[reply]

It means articulated twice, in that a bi-articulated bus has three sections and two accordian swingy-thing. Bi-articulated buses are used in the city of Curitiba. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.59.158.236 (talk • contribs) 02:56, 27 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Criticisms[edit]

This section seems to be based on circumstantial and anecdotal grumbles, rather than objective data or evidence. I suggest that it be deleted if it cannot be improved and properly referenced. Cripipper 14:41, 1 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Nope, in short these are the main critics for the system, i have read them in El Tiempo. But I found a site with some of these critics, so I`m gonna add it as a source.--ometzit<col> 18:14, 3 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

--- agree with the term, bi-articulated sounds like two articulations, which mean a 3-section bus and not a 2-section as they really are. i saw on the news somewhere that transmilenio is going to use a longer bus, which could be bi articulated —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gcancelado (talk • contribs) 22:29, 25 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Claim without reference[edit]

Most users agree that TransMilenio is a vast improvement over Bogotá's previous public transit system, especially in comparison with the chaotic systems in place in cities like Lima, Peru. There are a number of criticisms based on the way the system works.^[1] Lenny230 (talk) 22:47, 31 January 2011 (UTC)Lenny230[reply]

I have found a new source for (basically) this information. And the bulleted criticisms, anyway, I've removed as unsourced except for one's widely supported by the survey I used as the source. The rest of the protests/criticism could use sourcing. I do hate to get rid perfectly good first hand knowledge just because there is no source. Maybe if someone disagrees with what is said.

Spanish please![edit]

Do these sources fit to the story in chapter „New Fleet"? I personally do not understand Spanish, but spanish wikipedians might help and translate. We might find contradicting news:^[1] ^[2]Waegend (talk) 20:57, 16 September 2022 (UTC) Waegend (talk) 20:57, 16 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
