Bogotá Transportation Terminal: Ticket sales to some cities suspended due to national strike

TL;DR
- A national strike is underway in Colombia due to updated cadastral appraisals by the IGAC affecting 520 municipalities.
- Campesino organizations and communities are protesting disproportionate increases in property taxes, demanding the repeal of Resolution 2057.
- Road blockades have been set up in at least 10 departments, impacting passenger transport.
- The Bogotá Transportation Terminal has suspended ticket sales to destinations in the Caribbean coast, Boyacá, and Santander.
