1. Brainstorming: Think of a city you know well that is better to live in now than it used to be. What was it like in the past? What is it like now? Think about architecture, environmental issues, public transportation job opportunities, etc. Complete the Chart with your ideas: City: Bogotá In the past: The penny war made public transport a horror. Environmental pollution was terrible due to the number of chimneys that gave off black smoke in the combustion process, generating polluting gases. Road infrastructure causes monumental traffic jams. Today Transmilenio arrived to improve mobility in the capital. Air quality improved thanks to the fleet with better emission standards and the use of cleaner fuels. Although traffic jams continue to be a problem, mobility has improved with the widening of the road.

Bogotá is the capital city of the Republic of Colombia, and is located in the Bogotá Savannah, in the Cundiboyacense plateau of the Eastern Cordillera of the Andes, at an altitude of about 2630 meters above sea level. Bogotá was founded as the capital of the New Kingdom of Granada on August 6, 1538 by the Spanish conquistador Gonzalo Jiménez de Quesada after a harsh expedition to the Andes. It has a total area of 1,776 km² and an urban area of 307 km². It has about 7.9 million inhabitants. Bogotá stands out for its economic strength associated with the large size of its productive force, the facilities for creating companies and doing business, financial maturity, the attraction of global companies and the quality of its human capital. Mobility in the city of Bogotá is one of the most important factors considering the evolution and expansion of the capital and analyzed from a perspective that goes from recent years to the present, the Colombian capital has undergone great changes, managing to improve transportation to big scale.. A clear example is Transmilenio, which was developed and implemented to solve the problem of public transportation, as a service aimed at improving the productivity of the city and the quality of life of Bogota citizens, being a massive public transportation system with modern buses, more efficient, with more capacity, putting an end to the penny war that had endangered collective passenger transport. With the arrival of Transmilenio also came the expansion of the road network, and this new infrastructure allows the capital to look more orderly and facilitates the transit of citizens who use this system by shortening travel times, in addition to breathing cleaner air. , Transmilenio makes a positive contribution to the environment, lowering pollution rates, due to progress in the transformation of the transport sector towards clean technologies with a new fleet of buses with better emission standards for polluting gases, promoting the use of cleaner fuels This is due to the use of electric vehicles and technologies with Zero direct emission of Greenhouse Gases and pollutants, thus ending the chimney buses that were scrapped after serving 20 years of useful life transporting the vast majority of capital residents. Editing Checklist YES NO Are all the words spelled correctly? Is the first word of every sentence capitalized? Does every sentence end with the correct punctuation?
