Our routes, our history
Recognizing the need for transportation in La Calera’s rural communities, a group of vehicle owners came together. They had been providing transportation in privately owned vehicles, including Nissan and Toyota off-road vehicles. Among them were Juan de Dios Guerrero, Rolando Ayala, José Ignacio Cruz, Demetrio García, Otoniel Cadena, and Edilberto Pulido.
They set out to formalize the service and obtain the necessary permits. Under Article One of Resolution No. 172, dated December 23, 1997, the Buenos Aires Transport Cooperative, COOTRANSBONAIRE, was granted an operating license during the administration of Mayor Luis Alejandro Tovar.
Since then, the cooperative has grown through the commitment of its members, the General Assembly, the Board of Directors, the Legal Representative and General Manager, the Education and Solidarity Committees, the Supervisory Board, and the Transport Operations Coordinator. Their collective efforts have focused on serving passengers by expanding schedules and routes, improving the fleet, and providing dispatch services.
Together, these efforts have shaped the Buenos Aires Transport Cooperative, COOTRANSBONAIRE—a cooperative rooted in La Calera and dedicated to its people.
