Bogota mayor presses Chinese-led consortium to accelerate metro line as auditor flags delays

Bogota's mayor has publicly urged the Chinese-led consortium building the city's first metro line to deploy more workers, following an auditor's warning that delays could push the March 2028 opening. The project is in its final stretch, and the mayor's intervention signals growing pressure to meet the deadline. The delay risk underscores challenges in large-scale infrastructure delivery in Latin America.
