The simple station Socorro is part of the TransMilenio mass-transit system of Bogotá, Colombia, opened in the year 2000.[1]
The station is located in southern Bogotá, specifically on Avenida Caracas with Carreras 15 y 16. It serves the Marco Fidel Suárez and Tunjuelito neighborhoods.
History
At the beginning of 2001, the second phase of the Caracas line of the system was opened from Tercer Milenio to the intermediate station Calle 40 Sur. A few months later, service was extended south to Portal de Usme. In 2021, the station sustained damage during the 2021 Colombian protests, but was repaired and is currently active.[1]
The station is named Socorro after the neighborhood located on its east side.[citation needed]
