TL;DR
- Consorcio Express, operating Phase III of TransMilenio, has notified small owners of delays in fixed-income payments starting December 2025.
- These delays have escalated into a payment suspension announced until June 2026.
- The company cites "conjunctural situation" and financial instability impacting projections and operations.
- Initial communications in January 2026 mentioned postponements, with payments for December 2025 and subsequent months being rescheduled.
- By May 2026, Consorcio Express officially announced a temporary suspension of pending fixed-income payments until June, citing financial difficulties and stabilization measures.
- The company assures that the measure does not negate contractual obligations and promises a payment schedule once financial strategies are implemented.
- Many small owners rely on these periodic payments as their primary income source.
- This is reportedly the first time a Phase III TransMilenio operator has communicated such a temporary payment suspension.
