The Bogotá metro is now in Croma. Everything Empresa Metro de Bogotá publishes about Line 1 and Line 2 sits behind eight new endpoints, on the API key you already use: the stations, the alignment and the works, the parcels the first line requires, the monthly works progress and the tree inventory along the corridor. Each endpoint is also an MCP tool.
A point against the metro#
The most common question about the metro is one of distance: how close is this property, this branch or this customer. metro-bogota-proximity takes a coordinate and answers:
- the nearest station of any line and the nearest of each line, in metres in a straight line,
- how many stations lie within a kilometre,
- the distance to the alignment of Line 1 and of Line 2,
- whether the point is inside the intervention limit of Line 1, the area of design, construction and operation, or how many metres from it,
- whether the point falls on a parcel required for Line 1, with its CHIP and address.

"latitude": 4.594147,
"longitude": -74.097327
}'That point is 41 metres from Station 10, 29 metres from the alignment, inside the intervention limit and on a parcel of the parcel consultation.
Stations, alignment and works#
The 16 stations of Line 1, under construction, and the 11 of Line 2, in design: number, name, stage, centre, area and footprint. Search them by name, by line or by distance to a point, and look one up with its access buildings.
The alignment of each line, the viaduct, the intervention limit, the access buildings and the Patio Taller (the depot) come as GeoJSON in WGS84, with their length and area. The most detailed shapes are simplified to within about a metre, with every published point at geometry_url. metro-bogota-layers also hands you the official shapefile of each layer, exactly as Metro de Bogotá published it.
The parcels Line 1 requires#
About 1,400 parcels from the public Line 1 parcel consultation, each with its CHIP (Bogotá's cadastral identifier), address, area and polygon. Ask by CHIP, by address or by point to learn whether a property, or a loan's collateral, is among those required.
The list says a property is required for the line, not what stage its acquisition is in, and it carries no owner or occupant.
Works progress, month by month#
metro-bogota-progress returns the monthly series since 2020: physical progress planned and achieved, cumulative and for the month, and the budget executed in pesos and in percent. With it come the project's value and dates, its stages, the activities under way and the milestones of the latest reported period. In the October 2026 report Line 1 stood at 84.68% executed against 89.86% planned.
Every tree along the corridor#
The tree inventory of Line 1, about 5,500 trees: species, size, the treatment the environmental permit authorizes (felling, relocation, pruning, conservation), whether and when it was carried out, the work front, the localidad and where the tree stood. Filter by treatment, state, localidad, species or distance to a point.
The utility network relocation#
And the early utility network relocation: about 158 interferences across the water, power, gas and telecom networks that Line 1 has to move, each with the utility, its state, planned and achieved progress, the dates and the deadline. The parties are utility companies; there is no personal data. The report was last published in 2022.

How current it is#
Everything is refreshed weekly, and every response carries as_of, the date the data is current to. Distances are straight lines, not walking routes.
The guide has every field: Metro de Bogotá. If you already use TransMilenio or the IGAC cadastre, the CHIP and the coordinates are the join. To call the endpoints from Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor, connect the MCP server.
