Route 519 is the bus (locally called a “micro”) that links Pajaritos station, in western Santiago, with Avenida Grecia, in Peñalolén, via the whole Alameda, Plaza Italia and Ñuñoa. It is a Red Movilidad service, the system formerly known as Transantiago, and according to the current DTPM operating schedule (October 2026) the outbound trip is 21.5 km long with 44 stops. Almost half of them are next to a Metro station. Many people search for it as “micro 519” or “recorrido 519 mapa”; here you have the route, the timetable and how to find out where the bus is.
Route 519: from Metro Pajaritos to Av. Grecia
Alameda. The 519 starts at Pajaritos station and heads east past Las Rejas, Ecuador and San Alberto Hurtado stations, with a stop at Concón. From there it follows the central axis of the Alameda: Universidad de Santiago, San Borja, Estación Central, Unión Latinoamericana, República, Los Héroes, La Moneda, Universidad de Chile, Santa Lucía and Universidad Católica, up to Plaza Italia.
Bustamante and Irarrázaval. At Plaza Italia it turns south past Parque Bustamante and Santa Isabel stations and along Av. General Bustamante, with a stop at Malaquías Concha, as far as Irarrázaval station.
Ñuñoa. The next stretch passes the Conjunto Empart Ñuñoa, the Villa Olímpica and Avenida Marathon, and reaches Estadio Nacional station. It continues past Los Tres Antonios, the Pedagógico, the CESFAM Salvador Bustos and the Centro Olímpico Marlene Ahrens, up to Grecia station.
Avenida Grecia. The last stretch runs east along Avenida Grecia: Los Molineros, Ictinos, Tobalaba, Los Tordos, Las Garzas and Av. Consistorial, the Municipalidad de Peñalolén, El Acueducto, Los Araucanos and Pablo Neruda. It ends at Av. Diagonal Las Torres and Álvaro Casanova.
The return trip follows the same axis in reverse, with its own stops on Avenida Grecia, such as Quebrada de San Pedro, Jacarandá and Cruz Almeyda. In the centre it goes back along the Alameda to Las Rejas and ends at EIM Pajaritos.
Route 519 timetable
According to the current DTPM operating schedule (October 2026), the 519 runs as follows:
- Monday to Friday: from 06:30 to midnight, with about 93 departures.
- Saturday: from 06:30 to 22:00, with about 56 departures.
- Sunday: from 05:30 to 22:00, with about 46 departures.
In the weekday morning peak, between 07:00 and 09:00, the shortest scheduled interval is 10 minutes. At weekends there are far fewer departures, so the intervals are longer.
The 519 has no overnight departures. On weekdays the last one leaves at midnight, and on Saturday and Sunday at 22:00.
How long the 519 takes
According to the operating schedule, a full outbound trip, from Metro Pajaritos to Av. Grecia, has a scheduled time of 97 minutes for 21.5 km. It is a reference time: allow extra time in peak hours. If you are only going, for example, from the centre to the Villa Olímpica or the Estadio Nacional, work out your leg with the journey planner in the App Red or on red.cl.
Bus stops and Metro connections
The 519 has 44 stops outbound and 43 on the return, and passes 18 Metro stations. In the west and along the Alameda: Pajaritos, Las Rejas, Ecuador, San Alberto Hurtado, Universidad de Santiago, Estación Central, Unión Latinoamericana, República, Los Héroes, La Moneda, Universidad de Chile, Santa Lucía and Universidad Católica. South of Plaza Italia: Parque Bustamante, Santa Isabel and Irarrázaval. In Ñuñoa: Estadio Nacional and Grecia. On the way back the route ends at EIM Pajaritos.
Start of the 519 in the west, from where it heads towards Las Rejas and the Alameda.
Stop in both directions, between the Villa Olímpica and the Pedagógico.
Stop on Avenida Grecia, on the final stretch of the route towards Av. Diagonal Las Torres.
How to find out where the 519 bus is
To see how long until the next 519, 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. As the 519 runs at intervals of 10 minutes or more even at peak times, it is worth checking before you leave.
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 519 to the Metro, the total rises to CLP 895 in peak hours and CLP 815 off-peak.
Tips for travelling on the 519
- The 519 runs alongside the Metro for the whole Alameda: if the bus is slow in the centre, you can switch to the train at any station.
- To get to the Estadio Nacional or the Villa Olímpica from the centre, the 519 takes you there without a transfer.
- On Saturday and Sunday the last departure is at 22:00: plan your trip home in good time.
- Check your balance on tarjetabip.cl or in the App Red before you go to the stop.
