Three years ago Streetfilms brought you a comprehensive look at Bogotá, Colombia's TransMilenio, the world's most advanced Bus Rapid Transit system. TransMilenio changed the way Bogotá residents think about public transportation, becoming indispensable to the 1.7 million people who use the system daily.

Today, ten years after TransMilenio launched, we revisit this groundbreaking transit system and examine how it must improve as it matures.
