One of the characteristics of this city is its means of transportation, which are becoming more and more attractive every day.

Public transportation

To go through the different streets of the city you can take a variety of options, some more interesting than others, which makes the visit to La Paz wonderful.

Microbuses

With its large size, bright colors and in many cases funny phrases we can mention the “micros” which are buses of urban circulation. They have a trajectory since 1970, being the first public transportation vehicles that since that time covers several routes of the city. 

At the beginning of the 70’s, the micros were a quite peculiar transportation service due to the fact that the drivers were well dressed, had a cap that identified them, watch for on-time arrival on the route, making the experience in public transportation impeccable.

Although they are a means of public transportation that has a long history in the city, today they are still in circulation in the streets of La Paz, characterized by having great seating capacity, great resistance and above all to have the most affordable price in the market.

Cabs or radio cabs

Puma katari and the famous Chikititi

Since 2014, public transportation has been looking for a renovation to meet the demand of the people of La Paz.

Making defined routes with delimited and well marked stops, the Pumakatirs and the Chikititis have tried to give more order to public transport, although there were several conflicts with traditional transport unions, today it is essential for the transport for the elderly and children, which seeks to be an example, so that other means of 4-wheeled transport take them into account.

Cable car

Today it is one of the most popular means of transportation in the city and little by little it is becoming an emblem of the city.

It covers almost the entire city with different stations and is the largest cable transport in the world.

As of 2019 there are 10 different transport lines covering 30 kilometers of the city, reaching strategic points to unite the city from end to end.

Not only because it is a safe, comfortable and fast transport, one of the main features of this means of urban transport is the possibility of knowing from the air the different areas and contrasts of the city.
