Portal del Tunal (TransMilenio)

Portal del Tunal is a terminal station of the TransMilenio mass-transit system of Bogotá, Colombia, opened in the year 2000. Since the end of 2018, it has become a transfer station between the TransMilenio system and the TransMiCable aerial cableway system to the town of Ciudad Bolívar.

The Tunal Portal is located in the southern part of the city, in the Tunjuelito district, across from El Tunal Park, specifically at the intersection of Avenida Boyacá and Avenida Mariscal Sucre (Carrera 24) with Ciudad de Villavicencio Avenue. It has pedestrian access via a pedestrian bridge located at the intersection with Mariscal Sucre Avenue.

The Portal serves the neighborhoods of El Tunal Park, San Benito, Ronda, El Chircal Sur, and surrounding areas.

The station gets its name from being the starting station of the Caracas Sur line of TransMilenio and from the homonymous neighborhood located nearby.

In 2002, one month after the opening of Portal del Norte, Portal del Tunal was opened as the fourth terminal station in the TransMilenio system.

In September 2016, work began on the TransMiCable, whose central station is located within the Tunal Portal. Likewise, a renovation and expansion of the portal was carried out, building a new platform to allow the connection between the TransMilenio system and the aerial cable line. After several tests, the extension went into operation on December 27, 2018 free of charge for some residents of the sector, two days later it began its commercial operation. ^[1][2] On July 22, 2020, the IDU delivered the works to expand the Portal, including a new platform 178 meters long, connected to the existing one by a level crossing. This was inaugurated in April 2021. ^[3]
