Metro de Medellin
It has the reputation of being the cleanest in the world and, although I don’t know all the subways in the world, the truth is that the years go by and the facilities are very well maintained. For those of us who are used to the lack of structure, some rules may be a bit strict (you can’t eat or drink, sit on the floor and wait, or find street music in the hallways), but the results are there for all to see. What’s new is that the Medellín Metro has incorporated cable cars into its public transportation system, as a way to integrate people who live on the mountainsides. Although the metro does not stop at any of Medellín’s airports, it is a very fast and interesting means of transportation, which is highly recommendable for getting to know the city’s main attractions and taking the route around Medellín in one day.
