## About this plan

The Sports Public Library, inside Centro Felicidad Chapinero, hosts a Senior Club meeting focused on how Bogotá used to move. The event runs on August 13, with free entry, and invites people to look at the city through the routes that shaped daily life.

Through a group mapping exercise, participants share memories about streetcars, buses, the old escalera buses, and the first TransMilenio lines. The goal is to draw those routes together and talk about how neighborhoods, streets, and daily travel changed across the city.

This plan is aimed at older adults, but families, students, and anyone curious about urban history are also welcome to listen to first-hand stories and share their own view of Bogotá.
