Mike’s notes
Metro de Medellín: The two steel-wheel metro lines form the north–south and east–west backbone. The Ayacucho tram and six cable lines climb into neighborhoods that the valley-floor railway cannot reach. Line L continues from Santo Domingo to Parque Arví as a separate tourist cable.
Line A opened in 1995 and Line B followed in 1996, creating Colombia’s first modern metro. Line K opened in 2004 and showed that an aerial cable could work as part of daily urban transit rather than only as a tourist ride. The tram and later cables expanded that same integrated model.
Riding the network
Use a Cívica card or the current fare product accepted at the gates. Most rail and cable transfers stay inside the integrated fare, but Line L to Arví uses a separate ticket. A contactless bank card should not be assumed to replace Cívica at every entrance.
Current vehicles and ride: Lines A and B use electric metro trains. The Ayacucho line uses rubber-tired trams guided by a central rail, while gondola cabins handle Lines H, J, K, L, M, and P.
San Antonio connects Lines A, B, and the tram. Acevedo connects Line A with Lines K and P. San Javier connects Line B with Line J, while Oriente and Miraflores connect the tram with Lines H and M. Santo Domingo is the transfer between Lines K and L.
Accessibility: The operator lists stations as accessible, with lifts, platforms, escalators, or other aids depending on the structure. Older Line A stations continue to receive access upgrades, so check the exact entrance when a lift is essential.
Cable lines can close for wind, lightning, or maintenance even when the metro keeps running. Line L follows Parque Arví hours and does not share the ordinary integrated fare.
