History

edit

The inauguration of the head station was made on April 15, 2006, although public space works and some mixed lanes continued until June of the same year.

The portal has a cycling service for users.

Beginning in September 2013, "TuLlave" travel cards work in the Portal del Sur, after months of discussions on how to start integrating the cards used in all phases of TransMilenio.
