TITLE 1- INTRODUCTION
1.2 The Office of the Mayor of Bogotá has been developing and implementing,
through Transport Company of the Third Millennium TRANSMILENIO S.A.,
the TransMilenio System, as a strategy for solving the mobilization problems
of the capital under the perspective of prioritizing the mass public transport
system as opposed to individual transport systems in order to structure an
integrated transport system which offers higher quality, security and
reliability from users of corridors with the highest passenger demand in the
city.
1.3 The TransMilenio System has been structured based on the regulations
which governs the incorporation and operation of passenger mass transport
systems; the System has a special infrastructure specifically designed to the
functionality of most part of the System, transportation equipment with
functional and technical specifications and a management scheme which
combines in an organized manner, the two previous elements under a single
System, designed to transport a high volume of passengers, thus
responding to the mobilization needs of the Bogotá D.C. and those who live
in its area of influence.
1.1 PRINCIPLES
The design of the TransMilenio System is based on the respect of the fundamental
rights to life, equality and diversity and to improve the productivity of the city,
reflected in:
2.1.1 Respect for life: human treatment to users and drivers, reduction of
accidents, reduction of contaminant particles.
Page 14 of 186

with other modes of collective and/or mass transport; and coordinates the
activity of the trunk and feeder lines of the System developed by private
entities, determining the services, frequencies and all other factors of the
operations which have incidence on the variables that result in the efficiency
as a massive means for passenger transportation.
1.3 General
4.1.2 The TransMilenio infrastructure includes trunk routes and feeders, stations
and complementary infrastructure. The trunk routes are the central lanes of
the main roads of the city, physically separated by mixed use lanes. The
trunk routes will be implemented gradually until the total demand of public
transport services in the city are covered. In the next 14 years, 22 corridors
with a total length of 388 kms are anticipated. The system has feeder
services in the influence area of the integration stations.
4.1.3 The stations of the trunk system are closed and covered spaces, with
payment points at the entrance, located in the central separators of the trunk
routes every 500 meters in average, with one to three stops (between 40
and 180 long). The system also includes pedestrian access infrastructure
Page 16 of 186
CONCESSION CONTRACT – FORM 12
TRUNK ROUTE OPERATION OF THE TRANSMILENIO SYSTEM - PUBLIC TENDER NO. 007 OF 2002
and from other modes of transport, and spaces to carry out maintenance
activities and bus parking.
4.1.4 For the maximization of the offer, there are two types of trunk services:
express services and normal services. Express services stop only in pre-
established stations. Normal services serve all stations along the route. The
combination of express and normal services allow the mobilization of up to
45,000 passengers per hour per direction. The vehicles used in the
TransMilenio trunk route services are articulated buses with a capacity of
160 passengers and advanced mechanical characteristics. The feeder
buses are vehicles with medium and low capacity.
4.1.5 The operation of the System is undertaken by private entities under strict
conditions established in the concession and operation contracts and under
a centralized control. The TransMilenio operators are legal entities and
consortia formed by traditional urban transport entities of Bogotá, associated
with national and foreign business entities. The operating entities are
selected through open bidding processes. The remuneration is made based
on the number of kilometers run and the tariff being offered.
4.1.6 To access stations, passengers use advanced payment methods. All the
collection system, including the production and sale of means of payment,
manufacture, assembly and maintenance of the reading equipment,
processing of information and cash management Is undertaken by private
entities, contracted through bidding processes. The money resulting form
the collection is deposited in an escrow responsible for making payment to
the operators (trunk routes and feeders), as stipulated in the contracts, and
taking into account the fines that there may exist.

Services and Feeder Services.
The trunk services, which form the backbone of the System are characterized by
the transit of articulated vehicles with a capacity of up to 160 passengers,
exclusively along the trunk corridors, and serve origins and destinations previously
determined by TRANSMILENIO S.A. within the direct zone of influence of the

corridors, and serves specific areas; the purpose of these services is to offer
access to the System in the zone of influence of the integration stations. These
areas are known as feeder basins.
The trunk services are integrated with feeder services and with inter-municipal
services. The integration of the feeder services is based on tariff, and in most
cases, is physical. The integration with inter-municipal services is physical.
The tariff integration means a single tariff, whether a single trunk service is used, or
two or more trunk services, or combined trunk services with the use of one or
several feeder services, without prejudice of which, and based on the required
studies, TRANSMILENIO S.A. could establish differential tariffs considering the
special services, and not the quality of the users.

Chapter 4- Revenues
The economic framework of this contract, the construction of its clauses and the
exercise of the faculties, rights and obligations conferred to each party will be
guided by the following principles:
22.2. Technical tariff. The technical tariff for the provision of the transport
service offered to the public by the TransMilenio System corresponds to a
technically structured equilibrium tariff which reflects the variation of costs
and efficiency of the System. The tariff considers in its structure the cost
to the System of the different agents, the percentage of passengers being
transported, the total of tickets sold and the number of kilometers traveled
by the trunk fleet; and adjusts in accordance with the variation of said
parameters.
The TransMilenio System has and will have as main source of income the daily
collection from the sale of public transport tickets, according to the applicable tariff
to be charged to the user as provided for in this contract. The tariff will be
integrated in the System, regardless of the number of services it uses, the length of
the routes and the urban zone where the service is provided. However, the tariff
may be adjusted in its structure according to the provisions of this contract, in the
event that commercial alternatives to the user tariff are established.
The user tariff of the TransMilenio System will be the result of rounding up the
technical operating tariff, as provided for in this contract, to the denomination of the
currency established by TRANSMILENIO S.A., according to its use and which
does not have adverse effects in the demand of the system nor in the
operativeness of collection, under the following formula:
Page 47 of 186
CONCESSION CONTRACT – FORM 12
TRUNK ROUTE OPERATION OF THE TRANSMILENIO SYSTEM - PUBLIC TENDER NO. 007 OF 2002
TU = User tariff
TT adjusted = Technical Operating tariff adjusted
Without prejudice of the foregoing, TRANSMILENIO S.A. will have the option to
defer the adjustment of the user tariff under the conditions established in this
contract, in which case, the formula will be:
Where:
TU = User tariff
TT adjusted = Technical Operating Tariff adjusted
EFC = Expenses of the Contingencies Fund (Egresos del Fondo de
Contingencias) per passenger, estimated for the period of time established for the
time of validity of the user tariff.
As provided by law, the Office of the Mayor of the District Capital of Bogotá is
responsible for fixing the tariffs of the automotive land transport services within the
City limits of Bogotá D.C.
In order to maximize the System’s income, TRANSMILENIO S.A. together with the
concession holders may decide to make adjustments to the user tariff to
incorporate the effect of the modalities or commercial alternatives for the use of the
System, such as marginal charges for transfers or discounts, which may have
incidence in the possibility to improve the service level and the total income of the
System.
For the above effects, TRANSMILENIO S.A. will submit to the Operators Technical
Committee for consideration, the proposal it deems appropriate to adopt as
modalities or commercial alternatives for the use of the System. This Committee
will review the proposals received from TRANSMILENIO S.A., and may modify the
proposals or propose new modalities.

The technical fare shall be updated monthly and System’s agents shall be informed
to that respect within the first 10 working days; this fare will be effective as of the
day 10 of each month.
In the months when the operation of the new trunk routes operators begins, the
technical fare of the System shall be calculated for that month without adjustments
related to the new operations; as of that time the following adjustment cycle will
begin:

The number of kilometers traveled per vehicle per month (KmT) corresponds to the
total average of the system according to the number of kilometers scheduled and
actually traveled by the fleet during the last month and will be calculated from the
daily average of kilometers scheduled and actually traveled per vehicle, as follows
The different unit costs used to establish total costs of the various inputs
correspond to those fixed, objectively, by TRANSMILENIO S.A., following the
procedure established in the trunk route operation concession contracts of Phase
ONE, adjusted for variations in the IPC (Consumer Price Index) and PPI, as
applicable. These adjusted costs are taken as reference to establish the
participation of each input in the trunk route operating cost basket and
subsequently, to weigh the CT increase; therefore, if these costs are not actually
met it will not give rise to any party to request any adjustments in the tariff
calculation nor in the economic compensation of any kind.
Given that on the date of signature of this contract, no GNVC vehicles are
operating in Phase ONE, a procedure to fix the initial price for this input which will
be used for calculating %C. must be established. This procedure is described
below and will be used only once one month before the first vehicle enters in
operation:
27.6.2. The unit cost will be the result of calculating the average cost of the
various quotes received.
27.6.4. The CONCESSION HOLDER may object the estimate of the average cost
made by TRANSMILENIO S.A. and for this purpose, the CONCESSION
HOLDER may deliver to TRANSMILENIO S.A., within 5 calendar days,
(3) quotes of GNVC provides in the Metropolitan area.

The fixed costs (F) assumed in the adjustment formula will be increased to the
inflation index of the period, not taking account of other factors such as interest
rates, devaluation, etc.
The following chart shows the theoretical consumptions used and which must be
used during the life of this contract:
The consumption per vehicle in the above chart is used exclusively for reference
parameters for tariff adjustment with which trunk route operators are remunerated.

The parameters established for calculating the cost basket are estimates and
therefore, failure to actually meet the same will not entitle any party to request
adjustments in the calculation procedure of tariffs nor in the economic
compensation of any kind.
The return on capital invested is only considered an estimate which does not
intend to reflect the actual remuneration projected for the new concession holder´s
investment, and therefore, it must not be considered as minimum performance
guarantee for the new concession holder who must estimate and determine freely
its capital needs and the yield it expects to obtain from invested funds.

In no event, unless when CAq SEM i is less than zero, initial or deferred negative
adjustment will be made, therefore, the adjustment to be applied will be equal to
zero until established conditions are met.
Deferring the adjustment in feeder cost (CA) will not give rise to retroactive
payment.
In case that the total paid up passengers who enter or exit the trunk route system
during one week, through the feeder fleet of operator (i), exceeds the higher limit of
passengers of operator (i) transported in the week and this situation occurs during
three consecutive weeks in the semester, then the penultimate IPK is equal to the
last IPK, in order not to affect operator’s income due to the marginal payment of
the number of passenger exceeding the maximum limit. This means that the
adjustment equation of the feeder cost will not be affected by the IPK variation.
27.9 The adjustment in the number of feeder passengers (%A) will meet the
increase of the integrated tariff of the System base don the increase in the
number of passenger who enter via the feeder service. The adjustment
value will be determine by the following formula:
Where:
The feeder service may not exceed 20% of the System’s income throughout the life
of the contract.

following formula:
RT of last month
PP of last month

Where:
RT of last month = Value paid during the last month on collection, without
discounting the value of fines deducted during that month.

27.10.1 Determination of RT
NEVi Corresponds to the equivalent number of tickets sold by collector (i) in the
month.
PLUi is the Unit Bid Price of collector (i), which will be modified monthly for inflation,
and exceptionally, for incorporation of a new infrastructure of stop points.
The adjustment factori for calculation of (Rt) corresponds to a factor which will
make weekly adjustments to the remuneration of collector (i) based on the variation
in the weekly demand of the System, and based on the proportion of use of the
different jeans of payment used by the System. This function will be adjusted as a
result of the incorporation of a new infrastructure of stop points. These adjustments
will be regulated by collection concession contracts. In the case of Phase ONE
collector, the Discount Factor must be understood as Adjustment Factor.
The funds originated from the massive transport public service and all other
income which the TransMilenio System receives or may receive will be
administered and manager by an escrow under a single trust contract, through
which concession holders or contractors of the trunk route operation, feeder
service and collection of the TransMilenio System, who are or who become holders
of the participation rights of the TransMilenio System funds, whose activity is
directly bound or related to the provision of the passenger public transport service
through the TransMilenio System, deliver in trust the participation rights on cash
flows derived from the sale of tickets of TransMilenio System, under the conditions
provided in their respective contracts. The execution of the trust contract is a

frequency and place, and meeting operating standards provided herein.
The size of the reserve fleet will be established exclusively by the CONCESSION
HOLDER.
The CONCESSION HOLDER must modify the fleet size assigned to the regular
operation when TRANSMILENIO S.A. requests it as necessary or convenient.
These requests will be in written form, addressed to the CONCESSION HOLDER.
TRANSMILENIO S.A. will decide on the terms and conditions on which the
CONCESSION HOLDER will increase the fleet.
77.1. In order to evaluate needs of fleet size modification, collection and control
registration systems of the TransMilenio System and other mechanisms
which TRANSMILENIO S.A. deems convenient will be used.

where:
Cij Is the load of each vehicle (j) of the assessed service in the critical section
during peak hour on day (i)
ni is the total number of vehicles in the critical section during peak hour on day
(i).
77.6. If limit levels of occupation are not met in a review period of 3 months,
TRANSMILENIO S.A. will evaluate alternatives analyzing modifications in
journey times, increased speeds, service redesign or changes in
frequencies to maintain operation in the service level sought with the
existing fleet. When TRANSMILENIO S.A. proves that the existing fleet
allocated to a particular service does not, due to deficiency or excess,
meet the limit levels of occupation in peak hours, TRANSMILENIO S.A.
will require:
77.6.1. In the case of deficiency, (it being understood that occupation levels are
below the minimum level established for Cp in Clause 77.3), to reduce
the fleet of concession-holders who usually provide the service which
shows this situation in peak hour, proportionally to the size of the fleet of
each concession-holder.
77.6.2. In the case of excess (to be understood that occupation levels are above
the maximum occupation level established for Cp in Clause 77.3), to
modify the fleet of concession-holders responsible for the service under
During the performance of this contract, TRANSMILENIO S.A. may require from
the CONCESSION HOLDER to increase its fleet size up by 60% of the fleet size
assigned alter the implementation phase, or to reduce it up by 20%.
During the month following to the date on which fleet increase was ordered, the
CONCESSION HOLDER must deliver to TRANSMILENIO S.A. the certificate
requested to the supplier; failure to do so will mean that TRANSMILENIO S.A.
may require another concession-holder to increase its fleet, in which case, the
CONCESSION HOLDER´s obligation will cease, without prejudice of
TRANSMILENIO S.A. to impose relevant sanctions.
Before opening a new tender to grant the economic exploitation of a new trunk
route, TRANSMILENIO S.A. will evaluate whether all or part of the new trunk route
may be served by the available fleet, in which case it will give the operation to
existing operators, and these operators will undertake to provide services in
accordance with TRANSMILENIO S.A.´s provisions.
79.1 The fleet shall be the property of the CONCESSION HOLDER and this
fact will be verified by TRANSMILENIO S.A. at the time of reviewing the
documents which the CONCESSION HOLDER must deliver to
TRANSMILENIO S.A. for the issue of the Service Certificate of the
vehicles.
79.2 Notwithstanding the above, the operating company may use the financing
mechanisms required for title of the fleet to be registered in the name of
persons other than the CONCESSION HOLDER, in which case, this
situation may be accepted by TRANSMILENIO S.A., provided it is
evidenced:
79.2.2 That the title of the fleet is charged by an unsubordinated right of the
CONCESSION HOLDER to enable it to use the fleet and have it available
for the TransMilenio System. And,
79.2.3 That said limitation, encumbrance or tenure has been expressly accepted
by the financial entity of the CONCESSION HOLDER and is secured by
appropriate legal mechanisms.
79.4 In any case, the use of financial mechanisms for the acquisition of
vehicles which the CONCESSION HOLDER adopts, do not modify under
any circumstance, the direct and resulting responsibility the
CONCESSION HOLDER assumes for the purposes of this concession, in
particular, regarding availability, specifications and technical conditions of
the buses.
79.5 Liens of any type created by the operator will not affect the rights awarded
regarding the provision of service, but only on operators´ assets used to
provide the service and on the income received by the operator or which
he expects to receive. In any case, liens may only be created once they
are approved, expressly and in writing by TRANSMILENIO S.A. Assets
contained or affected to the operation yards may not be encumbered,
charged nor pledged. Vehicles may be pledged or transferred under
Leasing or Lease-back contracts signed with financial entities authorized
by the Superintendence of Banks, up to a maximum percentage of 10% of
the total fleet allocated to the System. The foregoing operation requires
prior, express and written authorization of TRANSMILENIO S.A.
79.6 The guarantees issued over vehicles must include clauses which
establish that the beneficiary may not make use of, nor have title of, the
vehicle.
79.7 The liens created will not generate for the active subject, any kind of title
in the TransMilenio System, and the operator will be responsible for
TRANSMILENIO S.A. for any damages caused by third parties or for

System, taking into account the overall demand of the System and the level of
service which TRANSMILENIO S.A. establishes for same, based on the existing
fleet and the range of occupation of the vehicles.
At all events, the management model and planning of the trunk route operation of
the TransMilenio System will be designed, if possible, to the efficient use of the
fleet and will be implemented as provided herein.
87.5. To maximize the use efficiency of the fleet to the service of the System.
TRANSMILENIO S.A., with the active involvement of the concession holders of the
trunk route operation of the TransMilenio System, will from time to time establish
the Trunk Route Operating Services schedule, once the following procedures have
been implemented:
chart must define as minimum the exact times, with minutes and seconds, for the
start of each journey, and where possible, the exact stop time in each station
foreseen for each service, the assignment of each bus to each operator, the
number of paid-up kilometers per operator, the number of idle kilometers per
operator and the number of buses per operation yard. If, within the stipulated time,
the CONCESSION HOLDER does not deliver any time chart, TRANSMILENIO
S.A. will define the time chart and the CONCESSION HOLDER will not be entitled
to make subsequent adjustments or modifications to it.
Based on the time charts suggested for each concession holder, if any,
TRANSMILENIO S.A. together with the Operators Committee formed by 3
representatives of TRANSMILENIO S.A. and 1 per each concession holder, will
review the compliance with the specifications and minimum ranges established
according to the preliminary plan report, and the compatibility of the programming
suggested by the various concession holders of the trunk route operation and will
verify that in each time segment, intervals are distributed on a uniform basis,
allowing variations within the limits established in the plan report.
The Committee will attempt to solve the possible operational conflicts between the
suggested schedules by the various concession holders of the trunk route
operation, and among them, the preliminary planning report. If it succeeds, the
resulting time charts for each operating schedule will be those adopted as the
Operating Services Program by the Operations Manager of TRANSMILENIO S.A.;
otherwise, that manager will adopt the final Operating Services Schedule, seeking,
if possible, the optimization of the System’s overall operation.
When the use of System’s fleet needs to be optimized, or when service needs so
require, TRANSMILENIO S.A. may, at its option, request the CONCESSION
HOLDER to comply with the service operating schedules which involve journeys on
trunk routes of the TransMilenio System different from those usually served by the
CONCESSION HOLDER.
TRANSMILENIO S.A. may review the Operating Services Program during the
semester of application, when it identifies mismatches in the supply and demand
for services, or when service needs are identified that require a re-scheduling of
the operation, and it will inform the CONCESSION HOLDER of the variations
introduced to the semester operating services Program, at least 15 working days
before the date on which such variations come into force.
- TRANSMILENIO S.A. will deliver a plan report to each concession holder for a
defined period of less than six months, in which it will define the services to be
provided, stops, cycle times, number of vehicles needed, time charts where exact
departure times for each journey are indicated, assignment of buses to each
operator and the number of kilometers per operator. This report will be delivered at
least 10 working days before the Service Operating Program is put into operation
The CONCESSION HOLDER will be obliged to comply with the service defined in
the Service Operating Program (P.S.O.) with its related time schedule.
In case of non-compliance with any of the operation factors defined by the P.O.S.
the enforcement of fines hereunder and under manuals and regulations issued by
TRANSMILENIO S.A., will apply without prejudice to all other powers and recourse
provided for in this contract.
The start of a journey for each vehicle must adhere exactly to the P.S.O and time
schedules defined by TRANSMILENIO S.A. as provided for in this contract.
The CONCESSION HOLDER is responsible for feeding the logical unit of each
vehicle before it starts the daily journey, such that the information exchanged
between the Control Centre and the logical unit corresponds with the information
already approved and communicated by TRANSMILENIO S.A. to the concession
holders.
When the daily journey begins, the driver must activate the logical unit such that
the follow-up of the vehicle begins in the Operating Control System, in order to
collect the information necessary for assessing CONCESSION HOLDER´s
performance.
The trunk route operation will be effected through the activities derived from the
mobilization of the vehicles in order to comply with the P.O.S defined by
TRANSMILENIO S.A. for the CONCESSION HOLDER in conditions which enable
compliance with the performance indicators provided for in this contract.
The trunk route operation developed by the CONCESSION HOLDER must comply
with performance indicators regarding regularity, punctuality, accident rates, fines
reported by TRANSMILENIO S.A. vehicle clearing and mechanical failures. These
indicators define minimum standards regarding service quality and enable the
distribution of the fines and bonuses account to take place.
The evaluation of indicators will be made every six months during the life of the
contract in accordance with the following measurement table:
Cash allocations in each period will be made only to the concession holder who
obtains the highest score after adding up the above indicators.
93.1. TRANSMILENIO S.A. will obtain each index based on the Programming
and Control System and on the reports received from officers and

The indicator per service (s) and segment (t) is the ratio between the minimum
score obtained among all services of all segments and the score for service (s) of
segment (t) as follows:
Where:
Score (Qsti) of each service (s) of each segment (t) will be obtained from the ratio
between the number of events where a trunk route bus causes physical damage to
property or persons (reported to the Control Centre) and the number of kilometers
actually traveled by Operator (i) in the period measured, as follows:
Where
Ct = St / Kt
Cf = CT / S CT
Coi = Service score :Total events of Operator (i) in service (s) for segment (t)
divided by the number of kilometers actually traveled by Operator (i) in segment (t)
Ct = Segment score: Total events for segment (t) divided by number of kilometers
actually traveled in segment (t)
Cf = System score.
Where:
The score for each operator will be taken from the ratio between the number of
fines reported by TRANSMILENIO S.A for cleanliness of Operator (i) vehicles and
the number of kilometers actually traveled by operator (i) during the period
measured. The ratio is the following:
ABi=Si/Ki
1.2.5. Indicator of operation fines: Is the ratio between the minimum score
obtained among operators and Operator (i) score for this indicator as
follows:
Where:
MTMi = Score related with the index of operation fines of Operator (i)

holders.
The score for each operator will be obtained from the ratio between the number of
mechanical failures caused in vehicles of Operator (i), on the road and in service,
and the number of kilometers actually traveled by Operator (i) in the period
measured. The ratio is the following:
FMi=Si/Ki
Bonuses will be liquidated and paid within the 30 days following to the date on
which TRANSMILENIO S.A. informs CONCESSION HOLDERS that they are due,
as a result of the final score obtained by each of them, for the six-month period.
Payments will be limited to the maximum amount accumulated for that purpose in
the corresponding account of the Fines and Bonuses Fund of the TransMilenio
System, regulated in this contract. The total value to be distributed in this period
will not take account of the amounts for fines in dispute, or the solution of conflicts;
these sums will be taken into account for the period following that in which a

solution of conflicts available under this Contract.

other, if such breach of contract generates the possibility of requesting
