Colectivo

A colectivo is a shared transportation system common in some Latin American countries, particularly in Colombia. It functions like a hybrid between a bus and a taxi, operating on fixed routes or general areas with set stops. Passengers can hop on or off along the route, often paying a standard fare. Colectivos provide affordable, flexible, and efficient transportation, especially in urban and suburban areas where public transit options might be limited. They are an integral part of local mobility, offering a practical alternative for daily commuting and community connectivity.
