Rush hour on the TransMilenio BRT system at Portal Norte, Bogotá, Colombia. A marshall tries to clear the offside lane while buses queue out of sight. Portal del Norte is located in northern Bogotá, specifically on Autopista Norte with Calle 175.
It serves the La Uribe, Villa del Prado, Nueva Zelandia, and Northwest San Antonio neighborhoods.
In late 2001, after the opening of the Portal de Usme , the Portal del Norte was opened as the third terminus in the system.
Nearby there are Éxito and Home Center superstores, as well as a Colsubsidio and a small shopping center called Panama.
In mid-2005, its entire fleet of feeder buses made by Mercedes Benz and operated by Alnorte
were renovated to be put into non-TransMilenio service. A new operator, Alnorte Fase 2 began service
with new Volkswagen buses that bore the branding of Brazil's Busscar .
