The mayor of Bogotá, Enrique Peñalosa strives to deliver transit services that promote social equity through bicycle lanes, improved sidewalks, and a world-famous Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system, "TransMilenio." Through examining the principles that guide his planning, we can flesh out a starting point for socially just transit systems. While such measures can alleviate several harms that transit systems cause, they rest on an incomplete foundation due to their top-down nature. To amend this situation, the author argues for a restorative justice approach to transportation democracy, using examples from Peñalosa's mayoral tenure. In turn, lessons from Bogotá's transportation history reveal how to develop transit systems that strongly favor justice.
波哥大市长恩里克·佩尼亚洛萨致力于提供公共交通服务，通过自行车道、改善人行道以及举世闻名的快速公交系统“新世纪公交”来促进社会公平。通过审视指导其规划的原则，我们可以梳理出社会公平的公共交通系统的起点。虽然这些措施可以减轻公共交通系统造成的一些危害，但由于其自上而下的性质，它们的基础并不完整。为了改善这种情况，作者以佩尼亚洛萨市长任期内的事例为依据，主张采用恢复性司法方法来实现交通民主。反过来，波哥大交通历史的经验教训揭示了如何发展强烈有利于公平的公共交通系统。
