Metro de Medellin reaffirms life, health, and culture.  Our transportation system is world-renowned, and establishes Medellin as one of the more sought-after destinations in Colombia for its entrepreneurship, development, and technology.  Metro de Medellin is “the company of the Antioquian” – a symbol of culture, civic-mindedness, and social well-being – a company that maintains a commitment to the quality of its security and services, as well as a commitment to the environment.  Metro de Medellin is an icon for the city of Medellin and the surrounding metropolitan area.  It is not merely a means for transportation – Metro has altered lifestyles and promotes a standard of civic behavior for its users.  Already recognized as an educating agent as well as a place for civic encounter, Metro de Medellin has also generated “Metro Culture,” the company’s great social contribution to the community.

Each day, businessmen, politicians, and media representatives from all over the world travel our various rail lines.  These commuters appreciate our exclusive knowledge of the railway system – ours is the only Colombian mass transit service that does not contaminate the environment.  They will also admire our aerial cable car system, the only one in the world connected to a mass transit system.  In addition to everyday tourists, over 3,500 Colombian and foreign-born passengers have expressed interest in getting to know Metro personally. This is not just the story of a business, but rather of an entire region that identifies with its Metro system.

The technological features are not the only aspects that interest our customers – they want to understand the societal implications of such a social transformation and how it has been possible to close the gap between economic classes.  Today, we are a model for state-owned social and commercial enterprises, both in administrative management and social responsibility.

Our Metro does not stop running.
