I'm doing a Colombian Criminal Complaint that says in part, "Un día entrando por la 45 a la Universidad Nacional (Bogota)..."
I am supposing that "la 45" refers to a bus, train, ,metro route?

The main road leading into the university end of Bogotá is indeed the 45. Now we need to know if this is for US English or not - I can only offer a British "voicing of this", and I am also assuming that the Rutas Nacionales are referred to as "erre enes" in Colombia, - in Spain we talk about the N110 (Nacional 110) - all pretty much guesswork I know.

No problem Tom - but could you put that in the Discussion section too so that everyone see it? Thanks.

btw I don't understand it as meaning a method of transport (I'd expect "en" for that) and since I immediately found out that the road into the uni is called the 45, I didn't search any further. Maybe that is a mistake, but at least I have done some research ;-)

Perhaps "coming in on 45" (just been talking to a Canadian colleague ;-))
