How high, how underground, than the 7th or Caracas. We have heard several proposals from the Colombian Government about the construction of the Metro in Bogotá and, finally, it is clear. Well, this Thursday, the firm responsible for the tender of the first line of the Metro was known.

The APCA Transmimetro consortium, made up of the China Harbor Engineering Company Limited (China) and Xi'An Metro Company Limited (China), won the tender, a mega-contract for more than 13 billion pesos.

But, how late are we from building a subway in the capital of our country? Not to go too far, a day like today, October 17, when the name of consortium in charge of the constriction of the first line of the Metro in Bogotá is known, Madrid turns 100 years since this means of transport began operating.

On October 17, 1919 at 3.40 p.m. the train started on the first line of the underground electric railway. With this, Madrid is mounted to a means of transport that the big cities like London, New York, Paris or Berlin already had.

Recall that the Medellín Metro began its operation on November 30, 1995, that is, 24 years ago.
