The Massive Integrated Transportation System (often referred to as EL MIO) is a project taking place in Cali, Colombia. This project offers the tremendous possibility of allowing for the potential for sustainable economical growth in the region by reforming the methods of urban transportation. EL MIO will allow for more efficient individual transportation throughout the entire city.

  • 97% of the spatial perimeter of the city will be involved by this system, involving nearly 243 kilometers. The MIO will cover approximately 72% of Cali's public transportation needs. This especially benefits the population of strata 1, 2 and 3.
  • This project will be set in motion by an investment of US$405 million; of which, 70% will be contributed by the Colombian government and the remaining 30% by the municipality of Cali, Colombia. These resources are destined to finance EL MIO's infrastructure: construction of tramways, fueling stations, rest stops, the system of stations, pedestrian bridges, terminals, and yards.
  • The buses will have a capacity of 160 passengers and will circulate exclusively on the tramways; in turn, the register type buses will transport between 80 and 100 people and they will travel through tramways and special diversions.
  • The first section of the MIO will travel through the "Carrera Primera"(1st Avenue) among Streets 44th and 70th. It is estimated that the construction, which should be six months delayed, will require an investment of $19.101 million. Construction of this phase ended in Summer 2005.
