WHITE CARDS: Medellín Metrocable Linea JMedellín, Colombia

04

The Medellín Metrocable Linea J in Colombia

is the city’s second CPT system.

Similar to the Medellín Linea K Metrocable,

Linea J serves several hillside communities.

However, unlike its predecessor, located

in well established barrios, Linea J was

constructed partially in areas currently

undergoing massive development.

Both station design and cabin size and style

are similar to those on the Linea K system.

Medellín - J

04 WHITE CARDS: Medellín Metrocable Linea JMedellín, Colombia

Similar to Metrocable Linea K, this line has

benefited the community in many ways,

including decreased travel/commuting times and

increased property value.

The system is fully integrated into the city’s rail

system, making it is easy to transfer between the

two, both physically and fare-wise.

Since the second (upper) half of the system

services areas that are not yet well developed, it

is difficult to fully gauge the impact of the system

on the area. Further assessment will depend on

future developments and ridership numbers.
