In early July 2026, metro workers in Bogotá staged a protest that halted TransMilenio bus service, marking the start of a series of transport interruptions in the capital. A month later, on August 4, the city experienced multiple traffic incidents: an overturned vehicle on Autopista Norte at Calle 116, a semaphore failure at the intersection of Av. Boyacá and Av. Caracas, and preventive closures on Calle 12 amid possible demonstrations. Traffic management teams, including Grupo Guía, together with civil agents, coordinated the removal of the overturned vehicle and regulated flow at the affected points. On August 5‑6, Bogotá’s Secretariat of Mobility announced a ~~pico y placa~~ pico‑y‑placa schedule that barred private cars with plates ending in 1‑5 from circulating between 06:00 and 21:00, while ~~allowing plates 6‑0.

The regional rollout underscores a broader effort to curb congestion and air pollution, with fines and possible vehicle immobilisation for non‑compliance.
