History

edit

In 2000, phase one of the TransMilenio system was opened between Portal de la 80 and Tercer Milenio, including this station.

The station is named Calle 45 - American School Way because of its proximity to the street of that name. The service covers the demands of the students who attend the Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas, Universidad Piloto and Universidad Javeriana. It also serves the neighborhoods of Palermo, Sucre, Santa Teresita, and Clinica Nueva.

On March 9, 2012, protests lodged by mostly young children in groups of up to 200, blocked in several times and up to 3 hours in the trunk stations Caracas. The protests left destroyed and sacked this season of the system.
