Introduction

This blog is about the “Mio”, and the process of learning how to measure its routes, the distance between the stations and every single thing that we can learn about it. But the main purpose of this study, and which will make the project work, is learning the metric units of length, such as kilometers, hectometers, and meters; and also learn in miles, for then we can easily recognize them in any situation that comes our way. So, through using this blog we can learn those aspects, plus practice teamwork and finally, learn more about math in general. We hope that this project we’ve made will be helpful to you in many ways, hopefully helping you to learn many more things than you expected. So one day you can thank us for all that you’ve learned through our blog. THANK YOU!

Sincerly, Natalia Leguizamon and Mariana Zuluaga

How to use the MIO

How to use the mio?
The MIO is formed by troncal, petroncal, and feeder corridors, bedside terminals, intermediate terminals, railway stations and a collection and control system.The Integrated Transit System has been structured from road corridors, which will be divided into trunk, and Complementary Pretroncal corridors according to their qualities.

· Troncal corridor:
Are those that can pick up with 60,000 passengers per day and require exclusive rails. These lanes are packed with enough space for an articulated bus pass by them, have many functions, and also separate the rail from the other cars that go passing by its side.
