IntroductionEveryday urban mobility is fundamental to access the opportunities offered by cities, something required to accomplish one’s own aims and guarantee participation in social life. Nonetheless, it is difficult to guarantee significant individual opportunities by fighting mobility-related social exclusion, especially in Global South cities characterized by scarce provision of mobility services and wide presence of urban poverty.Case studyThe city of Bogotá has addressed the issues of mobility-related social exclusion by creating a large bus rapid transit system, called TransMilenio. Introduced in 2000, the public transport network was intended to provide a wider access to urban opportunities to a wider share of the urban population.Discussion and evaluationThe TransMilenio has been an influential example due to its ability in addressing the messed mobility of a typical Global South metropolis and in promoting an intervention that requires less financial resources in comparison to other, traditional infrastructures. However, its results appear as partial when discussing the contribution of TransMilenio to urban access, as well as the economic and political implications of implementing such system.ConclusionsWhile relevant is the alternative form of intervention promoted by TransMilenio, as well as its courage in addressing the apparently untamable mobility of a metropolis like Bogotá, similar strategies in the future should pay more attention to the issues of access—intended both as the possibility to make use of this public transport system, both in terms of reaching urban opportunities.

民主运动？波哥大的城市交通战略和进入城市的途径

简介日常城市交通对于获得城市提供的机会至关重要，这是实现个人目标和保证参与社会生活所必需的。尽管如此，很难通过打击与流动相关的社会排斥来保证重要的个人机会，特别是在流动服务稀缺和城市贫困普遍存在的全球南方城市。案例研究波哥大市已经解决了与流动相关的问题通过创建一个名为 TransMilenio 的大型快速公交系统来实现社会排斥。公共交通网络于 2000 年推出，旨在为更多城市人口提供更广泛的城市机会。讨论和评估 TransMilenio 一直是一个有影响力的例子，因为它能够解决典型的全球南方大都市的混乱交通问题，并促进与其他传统基础设施相比需要更少财政资源的干预措施。然而，在讨论 TransMilenio 对城市交通的贡献以及实施此类系统的经济和政治影响时，其结果似乎是片面的。结论虽然相关的是 TransMilenio 提倡的替代干预形式，以及它在解决城市交通问题方面的勇气像波哥大这样的大都市显然难以驾驭的流动性，未来的类似策略应该更多地关注交通问题——旨在利用这种公共交通系统的可能性，
