| Sumario: | This article studies the implementation of the tramway in Bogotá between the years 1884-1930. The author shows how technology influenced the transportation system which initially utilized animal power but changed to electric power in 1910. Through collected data, Esquivel demonstrates, precisely, how the tramway expanded in Bogotá and why, despite being a profitable enterprise, it would be replaced by a bus system as the principle means of public transportation in the city. |
