Transmetro is a Bus Rapid Transit system of Barranquilla, Barranquilla. Service began with its first line opening in 2007. Unlike other bus routes in Barranquilla, it is serviced by a fleet of modern Volvo buses made by Ciferal in Brasil that are similar to the Mexico City Metrobus and Ecovia in Quito, Ecuador. The buses have fixed stops and partly run on dedicated lanes, avoiding other traffic. Both stops and vehicles are guarded by municipal police. In 2007, there is one route, between the City Hall (Municipalidad) and a market place at CENTRA Sur (Southern Transfer Station).
