Sotrauraba Medellin (Ant) Bus

The Sociedad Transportadora de Uraba, Sotrauraba, has been operating continuously since its foundation in 1957 when it was originally baptized under the name of Transportes Sopetran, since at that time Sopetrán was the main destination to and from where the routes went. He started with ladder cars with the need to replace the transfer of agricultural products between Sopetrán and Medellin, which for decades was carried out on a mule. With the passing of the years, it changed its name to Sotraurabá in 1964, a name that emerged and that still remains, because it was an important axis of local progress in the Urabá region, acquiring a social commitment to provide excellent service to the community.
