Cootranshuila Bogota Bus

Cootranshuila is a transportation company founded in Neiva in 1937, but started its inter-municipal transport in 1942, covering towns and municipalities around Neiva on the popular chivas or ladder buses. Over time, buses and vans were included in its bus fleet, allowing longer routes to be covered, reaching the departments of Caqueta and Cauca at the end of the 50s. At the beginning of the 70s, Cootranshuila added taxis to cover the urban transport in the capital of Huila too.
