TransMilenio announced that, starting this Saturday, April 23, the 127th street station, located on the Troncal Autopista Norte, will temporarily stop operating due to works that will be carried out at the ticket offices located on site.
Taking into account the work, the mass transit system reported that easy route 8 and trunk routes B14-F14, B18-L18 or B75-H75, will continue long and stop at Prado (to the north) and Pepe Sierra (to the south) stations.
For people who want to travel from 127th Street to 106th Street or Pepe Sierra by Zonal Buses (SITP), TransMilenio announced that they will be able to do so by taking routes B920 or C158, in the whereabouts located in front of 127th Street.

It should be recalled that, in recent days, TransMilenio also reported that the Suba Calle 100 station is temporarily closed, due to the “adaptation works for the new trunk of Avenida 68 of the Bogotá Transportation System”.
As detailed by the mass transport system, the temporary suspension will be carried out in car 2 of the station, which is why most of the core services will move to car 1 as follows:
- Routes 7 Portal Suba and C19 Portal Suba stop towards Suba.
- To Americas, NQS and South Caracas, services stop 7 Santa Isabel, F19 Banderas and L25 Portal 20 de Julio.

Likewise, TransMilenio clarified that routes C17, C29, C25 and C87 to Suba will not temporarily stop at the 100th Street station. However, the system reported that, in order to mitigate the impact of users who use these routes, they added “an additional stop of routes M84 Museo Nacional and C84 ETB Tibabuyes, at Puentelargo station wagon 1 ″.
Faced with these operational changes, TransMilenio recommended that its users plan their trips before taking them, using the system's official application, TransmiApp, or following all the news through the website www.transmilenio.gov.co.
