add /evidencePassport — Added claim-level evidence mapping and source dossiers.add /revisionHistory — Established a permanent, hash-addressed baseline revision.The text below is copied verbatim from the published record. Each claim names the source dossiers that carry it; caveats stay attached to the claim they qualify.

quantitative
Bogotá tendered the right to run a bike share as economic use of public space rather than buying one: Tembici finances, installs, operates and maintains the system under a contract running to 2029, pays the city in kind — bike parking rather than cash — and the Secretaría Distrital de Movilidad only supervises
clm-d88a31683cf9776b
quantitative
The first stations opened on 30 September 2022, and the system reached about 300 stations and 3,300 bicycles, including pedal-assist, cargo and hand-cycle models, across five central and northern localities

descriptive
the only live data is a GBFS feed on the operator's own platform, and that feed declares no licence, no terms of use and no attribution
clm-9f60331140f24226
quantitative
743,472 trips from 1 January to 29 July 2025, down 23.2% from 968,174 in the same period of 2024; 110 of about 300 stations vandalised and 63 withdrawn from service

quantitative
The city reported more than 4 million trips since launch
clm-4bd647dc5aa0e489
descriptive
A bike share that costs the city nothing also leaves the city with nothing to govern: Bogotá supervises a service whose bikes, docks and only live data feed all belong to the operator
This layer records what is known about each source, what is still missing, and the exact snapshot this page is rendering. A missing date, archive or hash stays visible as missing.
Awaiting operator and domain-expert review; publication of this revision implies neither.

src-c9bad66a4119f877Authoritative for the operating model and the contract. Carries: "El contrato por medio del cual la empresa Tembici ofrece el servicio de alquiler de bicicletas compartidas tiene vigencia hasta el año 2029"; "Como contraprestación por el uso del espacio público, Bogotá ha recibido una retribución en especie mediante la instalación de cicloparqueaderos"; "El Sistema de Bicicletas Compartidas, que a la fecha registra más de 4 millones de viajes"; and that the operator finances, installs, operates and maintains while the Secretaría Distrital de Movilidad supervises. Fetched successfully.
src-af9b225ae0f4afcfSole carrier of the decline figure: trips "pasó de 968.174 entre el 1 de enero y el 29 de julio de 2024 a 743.472 en el mismo periodo de 2025, una reducción del 23,2 por ciento". Also carries 110 of ~300 stations vandalised, 63 stations removed, 14 arrests for theft, losses concentrated in Teusaquillo and Santa Fe. Fetched successfully. This is press reporting of the operator's/city's numbers, not an independent audit — hence evidence: media.
src-cbfa09b1cfb4542aFirst-hand check on 26 July 2026: the feed is live and returns system_id "bogota_bike", but operator, url, license_url, terms_url and attribution_organization_name are all null. This is the entry's evidence that the only machine-readable layer is operator-hosted and carries no licence. A v3.0 endpoint is also advertised at /customer/gbfs/v3.0/gbfs.json; the v3.0 system_information path returned 404 to an automated fetch.
src-9ddc4c50b467e402Dates the launch to Friday 30 September 2022, with 50% of the system in the first phase (1,500 pedal-assist bikes, 150 stations, 150 hand-cycles, 150 cargo boxes). Not fetched directly — verified through search-result text only; the editor may wish to re-open it before sealing.
src-0fdbe7030291c209Source for the full fleet composition: 300 stations and 3,300 bicycles — 1,500 pedal-assist, 1,500 mechanical, 150 hand-cycles, 150 with cargo boxes, plus 150 fitted with child seats. Not fetched directly — verified through search-result text only.
src-4d40778b6e7a29c2Carries the service footprint used for scale: about 300 stations across Usaquén, Chapinero, Barrios Unidos, Santa Fe and La Candelaria, operating 05:00–22:00, and 2025 tariffs. Corroborates the 23.2% decline and the vandalism figures independently of El Tiempo. Fetched successfully.
src-39ade570bdc685d8Included for the ownership question: the city's own mobility hub carries a station-location layer for the system. HONEST CAVEAT — automated fetch returned only the page title, so record count, update date and licence terms could NOT be verified. The entry therefore claims nothing about this layer beyond its existence being outside the snippet.
