Más de 13 millones de pasajeros viajarán por carretera en fin de año
Más de 13,2 millones de pasajeros se movilizarán por el transporte terrestre intermunicipal en Colombia durante diciembre, en una de las temporadas de mayor demanda del año, según proyecciones de la Asociación de Transporte Terrestre Intermunicipal (Aditt), que anticipó más de 1,23 millones de despachos vehiculares en todo el país.
TL;DR
- A 2.02% increase in travelers and a 2.8% increase in dispatches mark a gradual recovery in road transport.
- The transport sector highlights persistent risks to operations, including recurrent road blockages, poor infrastructure, and longer travel times.
- An average of 148 monthly road blockages were recorded between 2022 and 2025, with the Pan-American Highway being a critical point.
- These blockages cause delays, increased costs, risks to users, economic losses, and impact regional competitiveness and freedom of movement.
- Structural factors like poor road conditions, public order disturbances, and rising logistical times are pressuring operations.
- Operators are committed to meeting year-end travel demand and engaging in discussions to enhance mobility and road safety.
