Santa Lucía is a station that is part of the TransMilenio mass-transit system of Bogotá, Colombia.

Location

The station is located in southern Bogotá, specifically on Avenida Caracas with Calle 45B Sur and Diagonal 46 Sur.[1]

It serves the Ciudad Tunal and Claret neighborhoods.

History

Santa Lucía opened on 23 June 2001 as part of the southward extension of the Caracas trunk of TransMilenio. It opened together with the Socorro, Consuelo and Molinos stations, while the Portal de Usme opened later.[2]

The station is named Santa Lucía for the neighborhood of the same name located to the west of the station.

On January 6, 2003, an incendiary device exploded near this station.[3] In 2004, three people were injured when an incendiary bomb exploded aboard a bus on the Caracas trunk at Calle 47 Sur, near the station.[3]
