TransMilenio Driver Wounded by Gunshot in Bogotá Station Attack

A man who got off a motorcycle shot a TransMilenio driver at the Centro Memoria station on the Troncal del Dorado in Bogotá.

--- The context --- A new act of violence took place in Bogotá on the night of Tuesday, November 4, and left a TransMilenio driver wounded at the Centro Memoria station, on the Troncal del Dorado. According to the authorities, this situation adds to others that have occurred in recent months, keeping institutions on alert while citizens demand better security measures across the system. --- The facts --- According to information provided by the authorities, the victim was injured by a gunshot fired by a motorcyclist. According to preliminary information, a man got off a motorcycle and attacked the driver with a firearm. After the report from the communications center, officers arrived immediately at the station underpass. The victim was quickly taken to a medical center, where he received care, with no further details known about his health condition. --- The positions --- The authorities reported that the causes that triggered this situation are completely unknown, so the respective investigations are moving forward. For now there is no confirmed explanation for the motives behind the attack. The institution invited the community to provide any information that could help capture those responsible. It said people can call the emergency line or go to the nearest CAI to help clarify what happened. --- What remains unknown --- No further details are known about the wounded driver's health condition, despite his transfer to a medical center and the care he received. The full circumstances of the incident have not been established either. Judicial Police and Intelligence units are carrying out neighborhood work and collecting evidence, supported by testimony already collected at the scene, to establish the circumstances of time, manner, and place. --- Unanswered questions --- What is the current health condition of the driver taken to a medical center? What has the testimony already collected at the scene made it possible to establish? What information can the community provide to identify those responsible? What additional measures will be adopted at the Centro Memoria station and on the Troncal del Dorado? --- EPM analysis --- The attack shows the vulnerability of public transport workers, who do their jobs in open spaces and in constant contact with the public. Their protection is part of riders' everyday confidence in the service. Evidence collection and testimonies will be key to clarifying what happened without speculation. The citizen demand for better security measures shows that the debate covers daily protection across the whole system. 📌 EPM Take: In EPM's view, protecting those who operate public transport must be understood as a collective priority and not only as a reaction after each attack. The wounded driver was performing essential work for thousands of people, and his safety is part of the right to move around Bogotá without fear. The investigation must advance with transparency, support for the victim, and attention to workers and riders. Only sustained institutional presence, clear information, and preventive measures built with the community will restore confidence in the system.
