Try to use applications
Bogotá doesn't count with any metro or subway stations
and the buses are not really recommended,
because you could get robbed if you are unlucky.
Therefore we recommend you to use applications like Uber, or DiDi or if you can't use any of these apps we recommend you the local taxis.
Try to pay only in cash,
because sometimes there could be some problems with the applications or the drivers.
