Frequently asked questions about Plaza Libertad

Like the rest of the network, Plaza Libertad runs Monday to Sunday from 06:30 to 22:30 and public holidays from 07:00 to 21:00. There are no departure times to catch: cabins run continuously, one every 12 seconds, so there is no “next one” to wait for. See the opening hours page for the full detail.

Plaza Libertad is a station on the Blue Line of Mi Teleférico. The line page lists every station on it, along with the running times.

The standard fare is Bs 3 (about US$0.45) for the first line and Bs 2 for each transfer. On the reduced fare — students, people over 60 and passengers with a certified disability — it is Bs 1.50 plus Bs 1 per transfer. You can pay with a physical card or with the QR code of the virtual Yala card; the full breakdown is on the fares page.

Mi Teleférico does not publish station-by-station accessibility information, so we cannot confirm it for this particular stop. Across the network the cabins enter the platform at very low speed and station staff help passengers on board; if you use a wheelchair or a pushchair, tell the staff when you arrive. Passengers with a certified disability travel on the reduced fare.

Yes, but a bicycle pays an extra fare. Bulky luggage is allowed as long as it fits without getting in the way of other passengers, and several stations have bicycle parking. The cabins seat ten and load on the move, so station staff will give you a hand with your bags.
