“They show us the wonders above, but not what’s below”: Criticism grows over the chaos of the Metro; trucks are getting stuck in a huge hole at Los Mártires station

Bogotá city council member Jesús David Araque has publicly denounced the deteriorating state of infrastructure in the Eduardo Santos neighborhood of the Los Mártires locality. The official highlighted a significant road hazard where a large sinkhole is causing transport vehicles to become trapped, exacerbating local transit disruptions.

This incident has fueled broader public criticism regarding the management of the city's transportation network. Critics contrast the promotion of major transit projects, such as the Metro, with the neglect of essential local road maintenance, arguing that the focus on high-profile infrastructure obscures the reality of failing urban conditions at the street level.
