The train for the vicinities of the city of Bogotá (Spanish: Tren de cercanías de Bogotá) is an infrastructure project for the construction of a mass, rapid transport system to communicate Bogotá with its surrounding cities. This train is to replace the defunct Bogotá’s Savannah Railway.
The main corridors of this vicinity's railroad system would connect the main cities of the metropolitan and will be developed in three phases as follows:
The construction of the first phase of this project was expected to begin in early 2011. However due to the urgent needs of transport in the city, the project has been advanced to commence by the end of 2009.[1]
