What is “A un Metro de ti” (One Metro Away from You)?

The construction of Bogotá's First Metro Line is a historic step forward for the city, but it also poses a challenge for businesses located in its area of influence, which have seen their sales and visibility affected. That is why the Bogotá Chamber of Commerce (CCB) created “A un Metro de ti,” a free strategy to raise the profile, reactivate, and strengthen businesses in the metro corridor. Through promotional activities, digitization, and commercial activations, we seek to ensure that, as Bogotá moves forward, its entrepreneurs also grow.
