It is 29.4 km long outbound and is a Red Movilidad service, the system formerly known as Transantiago. It does not go through the city centre: it heads up through La Pintana and Av. Santa Rosa, crosses east along Américo Vespucio and continues via Avenida Ossa and Av. Manquehue. On weekdays it runs 24 hours a day and in the morning peak it has a scheduled interval of 4 minutes. Many people search for it as “micro 216” or “recorrido 216 mapa”. Here you have the route by section, the timetable and how to find out where the bus is.

It returns to Av. Lo Blanco next to the Estadio La Pintana and reaches Av. Santa Rosa.
Av. Santa Rosa. It heads up Avenida Santa Rosa following its stop numbering from 38 down to 26: it passes Plaza de La Pintana, the Veterinary and Agronomy faculties, Santo Tomás and the Hospital Padre Hurtado, up to Santa Rosa station.

How to find out where the 216 bus is

You can also use “¿Cuándo llega?” on red.cl. Enter the bus stop code, printed on the stop sign: it starts with P, followed by a zone letter and a number. In La Pintana, remember that the outbound and return trips do not use exactly the same streets.

Since 22 February 2026 the adult fare on Red buses is CLP 795 at any time. Secondary and higher-education students pay CLP 260 with the TNE, primary school pupils ride free and seniors with the bip! Adulto Mayor pay CLP 390. You can pay with the tarjeta bip! (it costs CLP 1,550) or with bip!QR from the App Red and other apps.
A single payment covers up to two transfers (three legs) within 120 minutes of the first validation, as long as you do not repeat the same bus route. There is no extra charge between buses; if you transfer from the 216 to the Metro during peak hours, you pay the difference up to CLP 895.
