Route 224 is the bus (locally called a “micro”) that links Ñuñoa with the Gabriela area, which it reaches via Av. Santa Raquel and Av. Ejército Libertador. It is 20 km long outbound and is a Red Movilidad service, the system formerly known as Transantiago. It starts at Chile España station, passes the universities on Av. José Pedro Alessandri, runs the whole of Av. Macul, goes past the Estadio Monumental and continues along Vicuña Mackenna and Av. Santa Raquel. Many people search for it as “micro 224” or “recorrido 224 mapa”. Here you have the route by section, the timetable, the trip time and how to find out where the bus is.
Route 224: from Ñuñoa to Gabriela
Ñuñoa and Av. José Pedro Alessandri. The 224 starts at Chile España station and takes Av. José Pedro Alessandri south: Av. Castillo Velasco, the UMCE, the Pedagógico, UTEM Macul, Las Encinas and Los Alerces, up to the Colegio San Marcos.
Av. Macul. It continues along Avenida Macul: Los Espinos, Los Olmos, the Municipalidad de Macul, Punta de Rieles, Santa Cristina, Escuela Agrícola, Víctor Domingo Silva and Los Cisnes. It passes Plaza Pinto Durán and the Liceo Camilo Ortúzar and reaches Macul station.
Departamental and Vicuña Mackenna. From Macul it takes Av. Departamental east, goes past the Estadio Monumental and reaches Pedrero station. There it turns south onto Av. Vicuña Mackenna and runs through stops 10, 11 and 12 to Bellavista de La Florida and Vicente Valdés stations, and Paradero 17.
Santa Raquel and Gabriela. The last stretch leaves Vicuña Mackenna via Santa Julia, Lircay and Rojas Magallanes and takes Avenida Santa Raquel south: Dr. Sótero del Río, Las Gardenias, Avenida Trinidad, José Miguel Carrera, San José de La Estrella, María Elena and Rafael Matus. It passes the Condominio Valle Verde and the Escuela Gabriela, takes Av. Ejército Libertador (Avenida Gabriela, Luis Matte Larraín) and ends at the Consultorio Laura Vicuña.
The return trip, signed Ñuñoa, follows almost the same axis in reverse, with two differences. Between Santa Raquel and Vicuña Mackenna it uses Américo Vespucio, past the Colegio José A. Lecaros, instead of Santa Julia, and on Vicuña Mackenna it stops at Mirador station instead of Vicente Valdés. In Ñuñoa it continues past Chile España via Simón Bolívar and Sucre, and ends at Suecia and Luis Uribe.
Route 224 timetable
According to the current DTPM operating schedule (October 2026), the 224 runs every day from 05:30 to 00:00. The first departure is at 05:30 and the last at 00:00, Monday to Sunday. It has about 105 departures on weekdays, about 86 on Saturday and about 73 on Sunday.
The 224 is not a 24-hour service: between midnight and 05:30 there are no scheduled departures. In the morning peak (07:00 to 09:00) on a weekday, the shortest scheduled interval is 10 minutes.
How long the 224 takes
According to the operating schedule, a full outbound trip from Ñuñoa to Gabriela has a scheduled time of 76 minutes for 20 km. These are reference times: allow extra time in peak hours, especially on Av. Macul and Vicuña Mackenna.
Bus stops and Metro connections
The 224 has 59 stops outbound and 58 on the return, and passes 6 Metro stations. Outbound: Chile España, Macul, Pedrero, Bellavista de La Florida and Vicente Valdés. On the return: Bellavista de La Florida, Mirador, Pedrero, Macul and Chile España. It also passes several places of study, such as the UMCE, the Pedagógico and UTEM Macul, and the Estadio Monumental.
Start of the 224 in Ñuñoa and a stop on the return trip.
224 stop on Av. Departamental, between Macul and Pedrero stations.
224 stop on Vicuña Mackenna, in both directions.
How to find out where the 224 bus is
To see how long until the next 224, use the App Red (in the app stores, “Red Metropolitana de Movilidad”), which is free and has an arrival predictor for each bus stop (paradero). 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. On Vicuña Mackenna, remember that the outbound and return trips do not use exactly the same stops.
Fare and tarjeta bip!
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 224 to the Metro during peak hours, you pay the difference up to CLP 895.
Tips for travelling on the 224
- If you are going to the UMCE, the Pedagógico or UTEM Macul, the 224 drops you on Av. José Pedro Alessandri a few stops from Chile España.
- The last departure is at 00:00; if you are coming back late from Gabriela or Ñuñoa, check the predictor first.
- You can transfer to the Metro at Macul, Pedrero or Bellavista de La Florida within the 120 minutes of the same payment.
- Towards Ñuñoa, the 224 stops at Mirador rather than Vicente Valdés: check where you board.
