History

In the year 2003 the Transmilenio trunk of the Americas was inaugurated from the station Americas Carrera 53 A (nowadays known as Distrito Grafiti), until the station Transversal 86 (TransMilenio), which includes the Banderas station. When it was first opened, this station had no feeding services, however, by early 2004, these were implemented. This station has a large cycloparqueadero (an infrastructure designed to park bicycles), being also the first station of the system that counted on this service. It is one of the most known stations of the system and, due to its large size, it has a portal-like appearance (portals are the name of most terminus stations in the Transmilenio system). The design of the central part of the station was replicated in stations of other systems of massive transport like the Metrobús of Mexico City. It has two pedestrian bridges: one through which the station is accessed by, and an internalone that allows passengers to walk from the central part of the station (in the center of the Avenue), to the covered bays, where the feeding services are found. This design constitutes the new standard for the future intermediate stations of the system.
