Route C03 is a local Red Movilidad service (the system formerly known as Transantiago) in eastern Santiago, along Av. Padre Hurtado. In the current DTPM operating schedule (October 2026), the main C03 service, described as Metro Tobalaba – Vital Apoquindo, has no scheduled departures on any day. The one that does run is the C03c, a 6.9 km short service between Lo Gallo and Vital Apoquindo that passes Mall Alto Las Condes, Metro Los Dominicos and Parque Gandarillas. Locals search for it as “recorrido C03” or “C03 recorrido”. Here you have the C03c route, its timetable, the Metro connection and how to find out where the bus is.
Route C03: from Lo Gallo to Vital Apoquindo
Northern Padre Hurtado. The C03c starts at Av. Padre Hurtado-Norte and Av. Las Tranqueras and heads down the avenue with stops at Lo Beltrán, Avenida Vitacura, Las Hualtatas and Colorado, to Mall Alto Las Condes. There it crosses Av. Las Condes.
Padre Hurtado and Los Dominicos. It continues along Av. Padre Hurtado with stops at El Alamein, Bocaccio, Edimburgo and Paraná, and reaches Los Dominicos Metro station, its only connection with the Metro network.
Southern Padre Hurtado. It carries on along Av. Padre Hurtado-Sur: Círculo Apolo, Río Guadiana, Parque Gandarillas, A. de Camargo and Alejandro Fleming.
Alejandro Fleming and Vital Apoquindo. The last stretch runs along Alejandro Fleming (Las Tres Marías, Espigas, Santa Zita) to Vital Apoquindo, and ends at Vital Apoquindo and Av. Francisco Bilbao.
The return trip starts on Nueva Bilbao (Cirio, Espigas) and takes Av. Padre Hurtado-Sur at Vía Láctea, with stops at Alejandro Fleming, Inca de Oro, Patricia and Puquios. It passes Parque Gandarillas, Río Guadiana, Monroe, Patagonia and Metro Los Dominicos again, and heads up Padre Hurtado to Mall Alto Las Condes, Puerto Rico, Las Hualtatas, Avenida Vitacura and Lo Beltrán, ending at Av. Las Tranqueras. There are 23 stops in each direction.
C03 services and variants
The C03 appears in the current schedule as Metro Tobalaba – Vital Apoquindo, with a route that adds to Av. Padre Hurtado some stretches along Escrivá de Balaguer, Av. Manquehue Norte and Avenida Vitacura up to Tobalaba station. However, in the current version of the DTPM schedule (October 2026) it has no scheduled departures, either on weekdays or at weekends, so do not count on it to get to Tobalaba.
The C03c is the Lo Gallo – Vital Apoquindo short service. It only uses the Av. Padre Hurtado and Alejandro Fleming stretch described above, is 6.9 km long and has 32 scheduled minutes. In practice, it is the C03 you will see on the street.
Route C03 timetable
According to the current DTPM operating schedule (October 2026):
- C03c, Monday to Friday: from 06:30 to 20:30, with about 31 departures a day.
- C03c, Saturday and Sunday: no scheduled departures.
- C03: no scheduled departures on any day.
In the weekday morning peak (07:00 to 09:00), the shortest scheduled interval on the C03c is 13 minutes. Off-peak, with 31 departures spread over the day, expect longer intervals. The C03c does not run at night: after 20:30 and at weekends you will need other services in the area.
How long the C03 takes
According to the operating schedule, a full C03c trip, from Lo Gallo to Vital Apoquindo, has a scheduled time of 32 minutes for 6.9 km. This is a reference time: allow extra time in peak hours. If you are only going from Metro Los Dominicos to Parque Gandarillas or Vital Apoquindo, the trip is even shorter.
Bus stops and Metro connections
The C03c has 23 stops outbound and 23 on the return, almost all on Av. Padre Hurtado. It connects with the Metro at a single station, Los Dominicos, in both directions. Other landmarks on the route are Mall Alto Las Condes and Parque Gandarillas.
The C03c’s only Metro connection, on Av. Padre Hurtado, in both directions.
C03c stop on Av. Padre Hurtado, at the junction with Av. Las Condes.
Stop on Av. Padre Hurtado-Sur, in both directions, between Los Dominicos and Alejandro Fleming.
How to find out where the C03 bus is
To see how long until the next C03c, 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. If the predictor shows no C03 at all, check the time: outside 06:30–20:30 on weekdays there are no scheduled departures.
Fare and tarjeta bip!
Since 22 February 2026 the adult fare on Red buses is CLP 795 at any time, including on the C03c. 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 C03c to the Metro at Los Dominicos during peak hours, you pay the difference up to CLP 895.
Tips for travelling on the C03
- Look for the C03c, not the C03: in the current schedule it is the only one with departures.
- To get to Metro Tobalaba, the C03 is no use today; change at Los Dominicos and continue by Metro.
- The C03c only runs Monday to Friday, from 06:30 to 20:30; plan evenings and weekends with other services.
- As the trip is short, the C03c works well for getting from Padre Hurtado to Metro Los Dominicos or Mall Alto Las Condes.
