To mobilize people who have the economic capacity, they get to modify their vehicles to be able to drive them without complication and without the need to use their legs as normally done but their arms

One of the problems that a person may have which cannot be mobilized quickly and efficiently due to a limitation that causes them to not see is the use of transportation, in Bogota a braille inclusion was made for those people can use SITP buses and in the whereabouts are the routes in braille

In some stations of transmilenio they had to implement this type of adaptations because the infrastructures do not have ramps however the city and mobility is not done thinking also of people with limitations
