- "An advanced city is not one where even the poor use cars, but rather one where even the rich use public transport," argues Enrique Peñalosa. In this spirited talk, the former mayor of Bogotá shares some of the tactics he used to change the transportation dynamic in the Colombian capital... and suggests ways to think about building smart cities of the future.

Beautiful discourse. It is unfortunate that his actions go completely the opposite direction. After 15 years, we are seeing the outcome of investing in diesel powered Transmilenio (BRT) buses, instead of a Metro. The result is a privately operated saturated system, so uncomfortable and crammed with users, which the rich, which Peñalosa fancies will ride buses, would never think of boarding. So much for a charming speech that differs from reality.
Exactly, sounds very beautiful and inspiring on a show where no one knows the reality but for those who have to take transmilenio every day ( including me ) it's hectic and honestly it's a disgrace . On top of that you have those conformist who say "well things are much better tHan before peñalosa" but forget that he has a contract with Volvo to promote these type of rapid bus systems , it's not a coincidence that he insists so much on the matter. Finally everyone should take in account that we live in Bogota not in Disneyland and there are other problems like high delinquency issues in most part of the city , creating systems where you cram in the citizens bring a flock of pickpocketters and dangerous individuals. In any case it's a true mess , the people deserve much more than a mediocre system slightly better than before "
My city here in the USA has publicly-owned, electric buses and metros, both of which are crammed. It seems to be the norm for mass-transportation to be crammed in high-populated areas. But at least there are buses, and that is the point of the video.
ok, but in ythis case you should know the speaker of the video is paid by bus compalies. So he is not impartial and no, we don´t have to settle for the worst!
indeed.
DID YOU KNOW THAT Penalosa is a failure in bogota?? no one likes this poor soul,,,he did nothing for bogota....he is a loser
I live in Bogota and the public transport sucks!!!...the same thing happens in all the country.
Excepto en Medellín
As a part of the change that took place in Bogota, you can really tell the difference after 15 years is a wonderful place to be.... strikes, protest and many public rejections were part of the change many years ago. If you want to witness the vision of fully committed leaders to change urban spaces try jimenez street in Bogota, is magical place for the world.
I have the opportunity to be in Miami, New york, Atlanta, Bogota, Rio de janeiro, Paris and other for long period of time and the best places is always the one you can walk free of danger, like central park, leblon, Piedmont park, Brickell, and more; I really like the idea the make cities around the people not cars.
Awesome: 10:40 "…a city where every other street is a pedestrian street..."
Hahaha he has a clear View about what a City Need to be
@@estebanvelasco5910 but he didn’t do it, he just wanted to stabilise transmilenio everywhere!!
@@afel4256 Exactly, and dont get me wrong, i was being sarcastic, as it's well known this guy turned this city into the most irregular articulated urbanization, and still he is performing international conferences
@@afel4256 Yo soy de Bogotá, perrito :B
I see his observation on equitable division of road space as incontestable, and true in that this breach of democracy is often missed. It's reassuring to hear optimism from this person who is obviously something of an expert, but on the other hand, I worry about how badly our devotion to capitalism will impede this model.
This is everything I'm all about. Adequate sidewalks and public transportation are a human right. Thank you, TED for bringing this awesome talk to me.
You need visit Bogotá and transport only all a month in a Transmilenio ,and you said again the same
Buses only become 'public transport' when they can carry wheelchair users in their wheelchairs.
This fast-track bus lane is implemented in my city, Istanbul, and it's extremely practical. So many people use it that it's completely full no matter what the hour (to the point that it's getting quite ridiculous, actually).
So you can see, that once implemented, there is a huge demand for this sort of transportation. Keep in mind that the metropols of developing countries are extremely unlike European or American ones... And thus I would advise any viewer to refrain from criticising Penalosa's idea before visiting at least one.
implying we should keep in mind those metropols are more densely populated?
Yes, to sometimes a ridiculous level. For example, Istanbul has twice the population of, and is 3 times the size of London. But more importantly, the layout of the city and how the city works is radically different from American or European styled cities. Or should I say, it has no logical layout? Green spaces are a rare luxury, transportation that is empty enough to get in is a luxury, having a good sidewalk is a luxury...
This would be great if ppl in NYC got on board
He sells buses, that's all you really need to know !!!
lie... i like him
This "Sebastian Gomez" guy is not more than a fake google account from the mayor's office responding to every bad comment with lies. If you really wanna know what's happening right now with this guy ruling Bogota just ask to anyone that lives here that speaks your language and you'll see. Don't fall for this smily corrupt lying old fart.
The idea of BRT sounds great but yes it definitely sounded suspicious how he only mentioned buses as a way of providing high frequency, cheap and accessible public transit without saying anything about streetcars which are a much cheaper option in the long run.
Incredible. Now I even like to hear this Ted Talk more ❤
I would love it if this was how cities were designed. :) I hope we can move towards that some day.
if there are more forest to fell, yeah! :) let's kill our mother nature. Let's not!!
***** berla blah blur blah blah
***** Yeah! Let's live in sprawling rural/suburban communities instead! Humans should clearly cover every bit of land on earth, instead of concentrating in dense urban environments and leaving vast swaths of nature alone.
You need visit Bogotá and transport only all a month in a Transmilenio ,and you said again the same, it if you leave with life of this transport
this is beautiful, fantastic solutions, thank you
Apiary Apsaras is not real, his city, our city is worse because of his “work” as mayor
Look at the protests last week in Bogota for the inplementation of this BRT in all the city. Peñalosa y is only a Bus seller.
The bus solution its not the perfect massive system transportation, but, for a poor countries its the right way to improve the quality life, and the idea of pedestrians´s exclusive ways, its very important because its like an invitation to people back to the sanity style life, and both ideas have an aplication in the countries with more development. He is a dreamer but his experience like mayor Bogota showed that all its possible.
penalosa y su cursito de ingles online!
Camilo Diaz Él sabe por lo menos más que usted, solo tiene el acento nativo.
+Camilo Diaz Solo por el acento no se puede juzgar, este tipo estudió en Duke, algo que usted nunca hará.
+TheRandage Hay algo llamado "DINERO" y no precisamente por su desempeño académico estudió allí ;)
Dopa X Mind Independientemente de su desempeño académico, están criticándolo por su Inglés, sabiendo que para entrar a Duke necesitas hablar Inglés perfectamente
Pero su inglés gustele o no, es imperfecto, sabemos que no puede llegar a tener un acento nativo, sin embargo su pronunciación deja mucho que desear...
Lo que representa es la hegemonia y monopolio del transporte urbano de unas familias, no representa a la igualdad ni mucho menos a la democracia, es mas, es el peor sistema de transporte para una ciudad, Bogotá, que genera desigualdad, incomodidad, injusticia, costoso, demoras, robos, etc. No copien este sistema.
now transmilenio is not enough for us , it's uncomfortable , expensive and terrible, I used to ride bike for go to the work because it was a faster way but now the bikeways are dangerous , someone stole my bike .
Peñalosa is the bogota major again and his politics only are good for rich people, and he made this city his experiment.
Thanks mr fuc... Volvo.
A sales speech from a bus salesman. Bogota became a chaotic traffic nightmare thanks to his dum idea that a bus system can replace a subway system by itself. Thanks to him, people started moving out of the city to the suburbs and there are people who can take over 2 hours to get to work. Thank you Peñalosa!
Change is always hard. It’s a super difficult transition what he is trying to do. But he is prioritizing human life and expense not buses. Cars have ruined cities and it’s hard to go back to a better cities. There being too many cars is not a problem he caused it’s what the leaders before him enabled for the sake of money
listen to him INDIA! - indian. gracias senor. you have done amazing work worldwide.
Jajajajajajaja check how is bogota now and you will see that he is a stupid
This video is about more than just public transit. It is about stressing the importance of people, and the value of human lives and a high quality of life.
***** by giving everyone a choice of chariot. You decide if separation from the masses makes you feel rich and no one will judge.
Right , now let's see what he does in praxis . Elevated train for the poor parts in Bogota where delinquency rates will rise , homes will suffer devaluation , Etc.. On the other hand for the Northern part of the city which is the rich part and where all the foreigners live ( including myself ) there will be a subway ... Hmm does that sound fair?? Does that sound human? I'm not going to be directly affected by the elevated train rail but it seems unfair and just ridiculous that in a city so dense , with almost 8 million inhabitants you would not prefer Subway lines and on top of those use the space for these type of projects as well. Why only stick to one model when you can have various efficient models complementing the city's mobility .
no one in bogota likes penalosa,,,he is one of the worse, learn spanish and head to youtube enrique penaloza and you ll fing 98% of everything talking bad about this fellow
Of course, Cielo's opinion would be very pertinent if this video was about Peñalosa's popularity. What is your opinion about the idea he is presenting in this video?
i like him....
Excelente
Creo que la visión que da es muy importante. Es una estructura y un civismo que es necesario alcanzar en todas las ciudades del mundo. No sé si viste el video.
oscar mahecha Usted es del tipo de persona que no aporta positivamente, pero que es muy bueno destruyendo las cosas buenas, como muchos de nuestros más votados políticos, lastimosamente, menos mal en otras partes del mundo no importa lo que dices sino lo que haces.
Enserio es muy tonto pensar que un bus es mejor que el metro. Este tipo es vendedor de buses
The main reason people hate the Bogota BRT is the insufficient number of buses in the system to serve the high demand. If they had triple the fleet they currently have (properly operating at about triple the frequency,) that would be a facto functional poor man's subway.
Improve your health, save the planet, help others: ditch the automobile
I have a masters in transportation; and I have also lived in Latinoamerica and I know how disinformation works; and it's huge down there (and now here in the US), I read that many believe that he is selling buses to himself as a Volvo rep?
I am sure it's an exaggeration of some sort of (perceived) kick-back... but I haven't seen any real data or news about it. Does any body has sources? or this just more misinformation?
Beyond buses, he has a really good sense of smart urbanization, most latinoamericans are self-focus and/or distrustful of government projects, and as with anything it will have issues; but urbanization unfortunately is not something is taught in schools, nor sustainable transportation. These are hard problems; and unfortunately the only way to have a free-traffic city it's to 1 do not allow car at all (which is not possible in a city the size of Bogota), and/or 2, the city is dying and people are leaving (like many cities in the U.S. that were built after WWII).
Pick your poison!
Trains and other methods of transportation will need maintenance, they will also break down and can become unreliable if they are not funded properly. :-/
I read somewhere that Singapore is able to run twice as many cars on half as many roads by implementing a complex system tolls.
Awesome!
Peñalosa would be a good choice for Secretary of Transportation in the Sanders Administration.
+sojutime He was actually elected Mayor of Bogotá once again and will take office later today
+sojutime Nooo.
A preson paid by Volvo working for Bernie.. don´t think so. Check the facts of this speaker and his ideas fall dow like a house of cards...
He delayed the construction of the subway in Bogota, a transportation system that is highly required in Bogota. He is also resposible for allowing corruption through the permanent repairs (not maintenance) of the roads used by his stupid buses, without mentioning that all those reparinings are paid by the taxes of the citizens to maintain working a private bussiness owned by Peñalosa (poor people paying the investments of the rich people, that is annoying). He removed a lot fo subsidies that aimed to provide food, public health, and public education for poor people. During some public protests against the private transport system that Peñalosa implemented, a woman died because of the action of the police who were following his orders, and Peñalosa said that situation was "normal" in other cities like Paris or Berlin. Peñalosa also wanted to destroy a forest reserve to allow his corrupt friends to build there. To sum up, this man has delayed the progress of the city by 20 or more years.
Seamos sinceros llevamos más de 20 años esperando el metro y que va, pero no sé puede negar que el TransMilenio es tremendamente útil a día de hoy
We've had cities for 6,000 years. We've had cars for 100 years, and we've rebuilt our cities around them. That is really interesting. I wonder how quickly they will change when the Industrial Revolution comes to an end.
A politician who works for volvo not surprises to be in favor of busses. The only good thing about this presentation is when he talks about a city designed for cyclists and pedestrians. Transmilenio is a mess and it is not true that a transportation system based on busses is cheaper than ferroelectric transport, variable and operations costs are consderable higher (road slabs replacements, bus fleet renewal and spares, pollution..etc) what is needed is a multimodal transportation system but this man only wants busses. He is about to face legal proceedings for having reversed the process of building the bogota's firts subway. Insted, his government undertook studies to build an elevated train to feed transmilenio, what an eyesore!... moreover, this guy lied about having completed a PHD in his public resume among other details...
The city looks nicer, but I'm seeing a lot of wasted space too. That highway could easily have another 1 or 2 lanes.
Just take the bus.

Did anyone else read Enrique Pallazzo when they saw the title?
I also like the Naked Gun
I'm not sure how I feel. I'm confident that it is true that when we follow a single person's dream, it is better than a committee of opinions. But it is hard to trust the idea of giving more power to the government, let alone one person. It is true that cities must be built for the future, and these are ideas that are good at the core. It is control that must be given up and this is hard. Control creates stability, and as humans, stability is something that is sought after. The way we think must change, and the way we see populations also need to change. I know for a fact I cannot imagine that there are people all over this world, living lives. I know numbers that are tied to land masses, but no visualization of how many people like me are out there. If there was a way to help me see the people I'm sharing the world with, it would be a lot easier to convince people to conserve resources and share them.
Really interesting ideas. The urbanists today need to think more about those issues.
This guy is awesome 0o These are incredibly progressive ideas, and actually having them realized in just three years as a mayor is just incredible.
The local politicians and mayor where I used to live has a crowning achievement: they used the equivalent of more than a million dollars to make a few kilometers of "environmental road" (literal translation, you probably get the point) out of an allready existing fairly remote piece of road. They lowered the speed limit to 30 km/h, and put down a zigzag pattern of obstacles to make it inconvenient for cars to drive there. This, of course, also made it inconvenient for bicycles, so essentially it's inconvenient for everyone.
When I see that mayors like this exist, I just feel we need to kick out the ones we've got, and use all of their pays to clone this guy, and have the clones do the job -.-
Dude with all the respect you deserve, you don't know what you're talking about. He's a mayor liar. His discourse sounds very well on theory but in practice it doesn't work, he keeps saying that buses in exclusive lane is the best way to transport people but in reality it's the WORST mean of transport. You'd see it if you come to Bogotá. Plus this city is so polluted because of his buses and he doesn't care, he spent stupid amounts of resources in publicity so he can cover all the bullshit in this city and keep spreading lies all over the media.
Ay si ay si TransMilenio the best !
Transmilenio is a nightmare in Bogota
This guy is just too much. "Buses Democracy in Action???" He is not a good person, He's a dedicated liar. Please look into his endeavors and ideas a little closer.- He's Volvo's, favorite sales rep, that doesn’t make him a development genius.- He’s also a cement, concrete, and pollution flag bearer (He has much of the mainstream media on his side and that’s why the real stuff doesn’t come out) There's no factual evolution, let alone any sort of revolution, in anything he's telling you right here. - He's a liar; you know? down here in Colombia it is a lot easier to trick people into believing that you have a PhD or a Master's degree in anything, and of course, telling everyone you have them sounds really good, it's only too bad you Don't.- He's been lying about his professional credentials for over 30 years.- Does that sound to you like a well-meaning leader for the masses?
Could I ever hope to convince you that buses are far better than subways, metros, undergrounds?
Exactly. Colombia...in specific, Bogotá is the capital of Buses and contamination for the blame of Mayor Enrique Peñalosa
So, buses should get more space because they are more efficient?
Okay, then cars should get a lot more space than pedestrians because they are a much more efficient at transportation.
But wait! That makes pedestrians third-class citizens! They deserve to be treated with human dignity! They should have as much space as cars!
...So about buses...
Also, I love how he goes on and on about how buses are so much more efficient and road space is limited and then follows with a story about how hard it was to get more space for pedestrians (quite a lot more based on the pictures).
Oh, and no. That is not democracy.
Sorry, but you just didn't understand. 100 ppl in a bus should get as much space as 100 people in a car or 100 ppl by foot.
And that's democracy in terms of: "Everybody gets the same space to use, if he is using a car, a bus or just walking".
Right now, a car driving minority is clocking up the infrastructure for a non car using majority.That's the unfairness he is trying to point out.
Andreas Harder
But that pursuit of democracy is horribly flawed. Because the people do not get the space, the vehicles do. Each person has more space around him in a car than in a crowded bus, and the room he gave to pedestrians is much more comfortable than either one.
As for democracy, he's pretty hypocritical. He bases his points on the virtue of democracy when he arrived there by wholly undemocratic means. Did a majority want to spend all that time and space to give massive sidewalks to pedestrians instead of traffic? If so, then why did he almost get impeached for it?
This is one of those times when a politician does something that makes him feel good and looks good without being much more than that: something that looks and feels good. As he said, the money went to those sidewalks instead of to someplace else.
Nawor666 I don't actually have a strong opinion about that topic. So I don't argue in either direction. Just thought you might have missed the point and wanted to correct you.
I think though, you are invoking political democracy in this context. At least that's what I read into your statements about impeachment and undemocratic means.
I don't think he is talking about politics at all though.
He just applies the principle of "everybody gets a vote with the same weight" to: Everybody gets as much space anybody else, regardless of transportation mode, wealth (able to buy a car) or any other factor.
That has nothing to do with people voting for somebody or if he has a major for his opinion or not.
If you look to Vietnam for example, everybody is riding a scooter there. And even with scooters, the streets are full. If people getting richer now and switch from scooter to car, they break the whole transportation system for everyone! That's an injustice. People getting richer screwing up the life of poor people using more efficient (in terms of space) transportation means.
I live in Sydney, and I can fully understand him. Here are no bike ways, so I can't ride a bike. The pedestrian sidewalks are full and you have to fight your way through. Buses are stuck in traffic and take ages. And all of that, because the majority of the space must be used to support cars. This is neither fair or sustainable.
And about the money thing, he is mainly talking about the city to be build in future. There, it is not more expensive.
" Okay, then cars should get a lot more space than pedestrians because they are a much more efficient at transportation."
No they're not - pedestrians use vastly less energy and other resources than cars.
"So, buses should get more space because they are more efficient?
Okay, then cars should get a lot more space than pedestrians because they are a much more efficient at transportation.
Actually... NO... People are much more efficient at using energy to move than a car, which has to move the person AND all the metal surrounding it.
But wait! That makes pedestrians third-class citizens! They deserve to be treated with human dignity! They should have as much space as cars!
...So about buses...
UM, NO. That's not what he's arguing. Watch it again.
Also, I love how he goes on and on about how buses are so much more efficient and road space is limited and then follows with a story about how hard it was to get more space for pedestrians (quite a lot more based on the pictures).
Oh, and no. That is not democracy.
Oh, and NO. THAT IS DEMOCRACY. Providing for the GENERAL WELFARE, not just the rich. Poor children get to be safe when they walk out of their houses too. Poor adults get to travel to work in a safe and timely manner too. And the reason that there is no space for walkways, bicycles, etc. is because CARS took over the spaces that were once used by people, and definitely CARS ARE NOT MORE IMPORTANT THAN PEOPLE.
This is very important topic in today's urbanized world. How to plan a good city that guarantees very efficient way of ensuring mobility for its people is told remarkably by the Mayor Enrique Peñalosa: of Columbia.
You need visit Bogotá and transport only all a month in a Transmilenio ,and you said again the same, it if you leave with life of this transport
@@riclop9054 What do you mean? Is it so horrible or what?
@@srinivasanraghunathan8656 It is horrible and in 1 km up to an hour, almost always 😮💨
I disagree. I happen not to believe in equity. I believe minimum wages should be decent and social opportunities should be there. But you can't equalize the quality of life. All social groups have to be represented, including the poor and the rich.
I think the guy doesn't know what his talking about. Democracy was never about equity, it's about opportunity (to go up or down). And his premise about a bus and a car totally nonsensical.
You start building equity that way and you may end up in Soviet Union where everyone is equally poor.
William Sokol Erhard Yes, we should all be equal under the law, but we cannot make people equal by punishing those who achieve and redistribute their achievements to those who don't necessarily deserve it or are not willing to put forth the amount of effort necessary to.
William Sokol Erhard Legally, of course. But inequality in social standing is like electrical potential difference. If there's none, there's no charge,
Good thought Alex Yaremchuk. You can see a direct example of your argument in India where it functions as multiparty democratic system with representation of all groups in the society, minimum wages and by and large social schemes. But with these there are larger plaguing issues of appeasement, communal politics and large scale corruption due to lack of accountability (which is driven by the case that the ruling party maybe part of a minority and the rest of the population doesn't have a viable representation). This system of appeasing only leads to more regional, religious and sectarian divide which is capitalized by a party with loose ideologies. The first step towards equality is providing public infrastructure and a clear mechanism to inculcate a sense of oneness among all members of the society.
This system has been currently implemented in the prospering state of Gujarat in India, which is clear contrast with the rest of the county's development.
The speaker brings out one good aspect.. but the point behind this is also the fact that there should be a strong force which brings about a large scale societal change.
The equality he's talking about is not the one where everyone is poor and waiting in line to get food from the government, neither that on which everyone gets a lot of money. If you weren't so American you could understand.
Dvid Silva I am Indian.. living in India. Working in the Indian finance industry. I am taking about the actual pulse in India. By an Indian voter.
What they need in bogota, is make the principal road as freeway, I mean the 30, autopista norte, etc, as more ways remove the green air and at it in the sidewalk they have space. With that the transportation will be faster and easy. In the 30 will be better to convert the channel to a bigger 72inches or bigger pipe. The buses need to be new, not old with a bad motor. The bike like will be added with buffer. The problems is the correction. They need good design, we have the money the problem is that the política want to stole or money congress making 33 millones pesos per month with that money will be good for 4 years to new design transportation in bogota. Also they need the metro, will be so much better, because transmilenio is not the complete solution.
Stoppppp..... Stopppp this is a bad idea.
OMG!..... Very late for Colombia.
We have Transmilenio now and I can assure "This isn't the solution"
Sorry for my bad English (I'm learning this lenguage)
+user256 it doesn't work because Bogota is a huge city with awful road infrastructure . In order to increase mobility you need subways so you can have the road space above. Today the system has crashed ( I take transmilenio every day) because of the excess of demand and lack of capacity of the system. So we have to cram ourselves, and I kid you not , you have to literally travel in the most uncomfortable circumstances. I was raised in the U.S and am now living I bogota and when I first arrived here last year the first thing I asked myself is why in the world do they not have a subway system for such a Huge city..
the buses affects the movility of all the city, are slow and don't have the capacity that Peñalosa says. All the inversion has enriched to privates entities and the city has suffered the cost of infrastructure and maintenance, sixteen years after it construction, the city has inverted more money in BRT per capita that any other city in a metro construction.
Sorry, i'm learnig English too
Esteban B
Every case is different.
Are you taking into account the cost of building subway lines when there are hundreds of thousands of people that have come to Bogotá as displaced population from all over the country, who live in invaded terrains and need a lot of resources and infrastructure from the city?
Narendra Modi Sir we would love to see such cities in India under your leadership.
Be careful what you wish for !!!! I'm telling you
I love this guy. He transformed Bogota into a vibrant and prosperous city from the stagnant wasteland it was before his election. For more info, PBS has a series called E2 (read "e squared") and Bogota is one of the episodes. Highly recommended.
is it a channel PBS?
Yes, PBS = Public Broadcasting System. It's an American television network that allows just regular people to produce the shows that are on it. You can find the program I was talking about here: www.pbs.org/e2/
Really you don't know the reality in Bogota, Peñalosa just is selling this idea....but not means that it's true
Psdata: Sorry for my poor knowlegde of english.
+angelikmayhem Pftt, Bogota was a wasteland before Peñalosa and even worst after he left the city saddled with debt and third rate infrastructure that broke down after 3 years of use and had to be rebuilt. His cousin was sent to prison due to the awful public contracts he made in connection with Transmilenio

The biggest liar and thief in Colombia, a Volvo and Skania diesel bus seller.
Lies! Liar!
Hi
I live in Bogota and Transmilenio, the bikeway system and all his developments are amazing. Transmilenio is the best massive transport solution because it is as good as subway but 10 times cheaper.
it would be better if you just show transmilenio or brt at rush hour why not? because youre a seller of buses. thats the true
Engañando en inglés . Vendedor de buses que triste. Y asume los logros de otros y le salieron Canas Pobrecito.
Ahmedabad! India has transmilenio
He sold it to the, one more happily closed deal !!!
Hablen en español pirobos ... ya se que vienen a ver que dice peñalosa ( que para mi es una figura potencialmente controvercial ),pero tengan en mente esto, Todos los colombianos soñamos con un pais mejor y la mejor forma es una idea a la vez.
I wouldn't mind riding public transport, if the bums, drunks, slobs, boors and thieves used skateboards instead of public transport.
Penalosa's ideas are excellent, but as shown by his actual record, the excesses of planning damaged his popularity, as well as the implementation of even efficient, effective innovations.
I'd like a mayor with his perspective and priority on the quality of human life. Thank you for the new ideas for urban planning!
pero muchos ladrones en el Transmilenio...the theives and pickpockets are the biggest problem..

Felicitaciones y mis más grandes agradecimientos por todo el trabajo en la ciudad
que put4 mierd4 de que? de plagarnos de mierd4 de buses la ciudad? de quitarnos los arboles? de odiar la naturaleza? de condenarnos al atraso corrupto y contaminante del transmilenio? Guys, let me tell you something, I'm afraid I'm Colombia and I express myself like this because many politicians destroy everyday my place, this guy is one of those ones, he only like the bussiness of bringing translimenios (buses) to my city (Bogotá) to get money, not for providing a nice public transportation system for us. We hate him in Bogota, he is just making us happy because he is finally leaving...
it is very obvious this idea could of been implemented in all the BIG modern cities around the world starting back as early as the 1940s Yet.. it wasn`t,! why? I bet some people probably even tried to get this type idea`s started back as early as the 1940s BUT because we lacked the freedom of a massive global internet communication system back then and of course the rich powerful greedy people wanted their own selfish ways of profits to be first on the list. thus hinting at the big oil companies working in conjunction with the automobile companies both planing to making sure the working class had to spend their earning buy cars & gasoline to drive to work..NOW their freaking out with all the green house gases screw up the skies etc... They shit in their own nest & these super BIG power hungry empires don`t want anyone to say to them I told you so!......Depopulating the planet is their easy way out.... I`m Just Saying! LOL
Incompetent, corrupt, liar & thief. He's a bus diesel seller. The worst Colombia's mayor, he robbed and destroyed the city..
A 248 Colombianos les disgusta esté vídeo, porqué saben perfectamente que ha hecho Enrique Peñalosa por su país.
- FIN.
Excelente planteamiento
JAJAJAJA.
Is he sure he is talking about democracy?
What he is talking about can and has been achieved better in communism, where the land belongs to the country and a consistent development plan can be put in place much easier...
I live in Romania and former communist city planning (not built for as many cars but for public transport) are still better then current chaotic development.
in a democracy this is something possible to do, but highly unpopular. Today's society is really egocentric, people dream with having wealth and happiness for themselves, societies are mantained by convinience, not team work. And this I fear, is not a problem of politics, but education.
Communism isn´t functional and most of those regimes tend to fall and fail like it happened with the dictator in your country, but it managed to unite many people and teach them some sort of love for their "motherland", this made people do city planning more humane and effective.
It is our duty to teach our children to love their cities, to want to improve their societies just as much as their own beings. To dream big and share; because we actually depend of those communities, and personal wealth is completely useless if everything around is falling apart.
Peopole.can write whatever they want... but this guy was one of the two best mayors in Bogota. This guy change the city so much that almost nobody remember how the city was before and thats the reason people dare to say that he is a lier or a corrupt. The problems are the mayors afther him, but the real problem is the people that forget those who bring a better life for them.
It can't do no wrong so why not use it !
SI NECESITAN BUSES, EL MAN SE LOS VENDE Y LE PAVIMENTA JAJAJA
Enrique dónde vive usted?
Contesto "YO VIVO EN UN BUS Y DUERMO EN SOACHA"
Si señor se ven las obras y lo felicito señor alcalde
Por favor si va a hacer el metro que sea grande para una ciudad grande como los de Alemania con 4 carriles no dos cuatro carriles dos para tramos cortos y dos para tramos largos como el de parís
El metro debe ser pensado para más de 20 años pues si llega otro alcalde malo que no se nos retrase la ciudad como la tenían atrasada
Otra cosa es solucionar el transporte en tras milenio con más intensidad de buses y de rutas cada 2 minutos en hora pico pues mis empleados están gastando dos horas de su vida en un bues por la mañana y dos horas por la tarde son 4 horas de su vida útil de 12 horas están perdiendo calidad de vida en un bus
Un empleado me contesto por las llegadas tarde a la empresa
Enrique dónde vive usted?
Contesto "YO VIVO EN UN BUS Y DUERMO EN SOACHA"
Dont lisent, the worst thing in Bogota is TransMilenio, is horrible
“A developed country is not a place where the poor have cars. It's where the rich use public transportation.” - Gustavo Petro (Mayor of Bogotá)
+Felix K Gustavo Petro never said that XDD
Link of Hyrule neither the rich will ride public transport lol
Eso lo dijo Peñalosa, de hecho .www.semana.com/nacion/articulo/una-ciudad-avanzada-no-pobres-pueden-moverse-carro-sino-incluso-ricos-utilizan-transporte-publico/125258-3
This guy is a hero.
He is not; Please look into his endeavors and ideas a little closer.- He's Volvo's, favorite sales rep, that doesn’t make him a development genius.- He’s also a cement, concrete, and pollution flag bearer (He has much of the mainstream media on his side and that’s why the real stuff doesn’t come out) There's no factual evolution, let alone any sort of revolution, in anything he's telling you right here. - He's a liar; you know? down here in Colombia it is a lot easier to trick people into believing that you have a PhD or a Master's degree in anything, and of course, telling everyone you have them sounds really good, it's only too bad you Don't.- He's been lying about his professional credentials for over 30 years.- Does that sound to you like a well-meaning leader for the masses?
Could I ever hope to convince you that buses are far better than subways, metros, undergrounds?
Kami Rey Vegas
He must be one of the richest and most powerful people on earth to be able to buy the complicity of the mainstream media and urban planners that cite him all over the world.
he was born in United States, but his English pronunciation it's very bad, he speaks like reading
I concur, apart from his awful pronunciation the guy didn't hesitate or stammer once. I cannot do something like that even in my native language (Spanish). Either he is a genius or he was reading somehow, yet very good reading, by the way.
José David Villalobos
It’s like people from India speaking english. They have one of the worst pronunciations, but are extremely fluent and fast talkers.
I live in Bogota, this guy is a joke, or rather a nightmare for us
Recipe for economic failure.
bolardo
This man is my favorite politician in Colombia. I totally support him. Please, Peñalosa, stay fighting for our country, we need your smart and balanced ideas of progress.
Se lo regalamos, sabe que lleveselo ya antes que la siga cagando en Bogota :D
Bogota has 10 millions of people, and Bogota hasnt metro. He wants sell buses is a stupid idea, is her company
His company
Ted talks just incluyes any liar out there? this guy is a sham
+danax2007 Lair, how are you to say that???? looser
+fredy parada Don't believe that guy, he is a LIAR. He lied about his PhD. He has claimed for more than 30 years that he had a PhD. from a french university. But some journalists wondered how it was possible he finished his PhD. studies so young. So, they decided to call the university about this guy, they did not find any PhD. granted to Peñalosa. The discovered the PhD. that Peñalosa used to say he had in fact doesn't exist. The journalists published an article pointing out this fact, and Peñalosa had to rectify that it was a mistake. But it is too late, despite he deleted the information in webpages like wikipedia, in an interview he said that he had a PhD. and the same in two books published by him.
In a hundred years we will most likely have cheap flying vehicles, problems solved.
He greatest mayor and urbanist in the world. Just amazing
La misma carreta de siempre.
The same BS but no results.
WTF is that? Why a person like Peñalosa is giving speeches in TED. That's a complete discredit to TED.
The most corrupt political of Colombia
Definitivamente este señor demuestra que no sabe nada y quiere es tener publicidad a costa de demostrar cortinas de humo. Deje por favor de decir tantas mentiras por todo el mundo para aumentar su negocio personal. Este señor no me representa, es una vergüenza.
V
what a shame!!! Have this kind of person in TED TALKS is ridiculous. He is a liar and the worst persons for talk about democracy.
great mayor.... his projects made a posiive diference in Bogota...
This "Sebastian Gomez" guy is not more than a fake google account from the mayor's office responding to every bad comment with lies. If you really wanna know what's happening right now with this guy ruling Bogota just ask to anyone that lives here that speaks your language and you'll see. Don't fall for this smily corrupt lying old fart.
@@sebastiangomez8712 jajajajaja we have a Comedian in Here!
POR QUE HABLAS INGLES TAN CHISTOSO Y NO FLUIDO......QUE PASA MI ALCALDE.......................
Beautiful discours, BUT I LIVE HERE IN BOGOTÀ AND is a shame that he just talk crap and keep stealing our taxes to increase his own builder business. Hopefully the recall is coming :)
Shams Rod
I love that he is going to complete his full mandate. He should be mayor for life.
I would keep voting for him all the time.
He implemented an awful transportation system in Bogota. It is useless and inconvenient.
Traducido tales of china real shet
Cuando fue alcalde de Bogotá, este señor no logró ni por asomo lo que su alcaldía se había propuesto en términos de movilidad ni mucho menos de democracia o educación. Años más tarde, se postuló como candidato a la alcaldía nuevamente con un propósito particular, la construcción de una enorme avenida llamada Avenida Longitudinal de Occidente (ALO), que atravesaría tres de los más grandes humedales de la ciudad. En ese momento, se argumentaba en la movilidad de la ciudad sin siquiera tener en cuenta las dinámicas ecológicas y ambientales que acontecen en los lugares más pobres de la ciudad. No está preocupado por la niñez ni la población vulnerable. No entiendo como TED pudo haberle permitido una ponencia. Es como si TED le hubiese permitido una conferencia a Bush para que hablara de democracia.
Enrique Peñalosa it's a Bus vendor, don't likes a metro from cities.
lieeeees!!!!
Vendedor de buses Volvo
So, this was painful to watch. This is a classic example of some good ideas being arrived at by absurd thought processes. Bus Lanes are not an example of democracy. It appears he has never stumbled across a dictionary in his life. I like buses, they are a very good form of mass transit, but they are not examples of equality either. Good public planning is an important part of government, but saying "Oh look, we forced hard working entrepreneurs who can afford a car to ride the bus because we created traffic jams by limiting road space" is not equality, not democratic and definitely not ethical. Providing an infrastructure that allows the individual to equally choose whichever best suits his or her needs, that is far more 'democratic'.
sorry but it isn't really, the bogota's people is suffering inequity, the razon is transmilenio system.....
Can you explain that to me?
Juan Camilo Aristizabal Marulanda why the razon is transmilenio System?
Juan Camilo Aristizabal Marulanda Bogota is suffering from inequality despite transmilenio, not because of it. If there was no transmilanio things would be worse.
Tomas Sanz de Santamaria I totally agree with Tomas, despite the fact that Transmilenio has its flaws, it also has demonstrated to be a low-cost solution (compared to other solutions as massive as TM).
Scam!
