The Metropolitan Police of Bogotá, in coordination with the District, carried out an operation in the center of the city that resulted in the transfer to Transitory Protection Centers (CTP) of six people caught reselling TransMilenio tickets at the Las Nieves station. Among those detained is a woman who had previously been denounced by citizens through social networks.
The authorities specified that the resale of tickets, known as circumvention, consists of entering the system without official validation of the fare, which harms the financial sustainability of TransMilenio and generates risks for security and citizen coexistence. The six resellers were placed at the disposal of the authorities while the investigation progresses to dismantle the structure that operated in the center of Bogotá.

“These transfers reflect sustained work against the irregular sale of tickets. In 2025 we have identified the resellers and applied the sanctions permitted by law, and we will continue to intensify controls throughout the city,” said César Restrepo, Secretary of Security of Bogotá.
The operation is part of the Strategic Anti-Avoidance Plan, which, so far, has carried out 133 interventions, seized 5,967 TuLlave cards used for resale, identified 177 resellers, imposed 379 summonses and transferred 45 people to Transitory Protection Centers.
With these actions, the authorities seek to stop the irregular resale of tickets and guarantee a safe, legal and sustainable transportation system for all users.
