Metrovía Foundation

[edit]

Established by the city, with roughly 12 employees, this foundation is responsible for overseeing the entire operation. They plan future lines and ensure everything runs smoothly. Unlike other BRT Systems' administrative entities, this one is funded entirely from space rental and other non-fare related income.[1]
