Avenida Suba is a major road in northern Bogotá, Colombia, connecting the locality of Suba with the rest of the capital.

Etymology

Avenida Suba is named after the locality Suba. Suba is either derived from the Chibcha contraction Suba, meaning "Flower of the Sun" (uba = "fruit" or "flower", sua = "Sun", minus its last vowel, making it a possessive) or from the words sua (Sun) and sie (water). It is also known as Troncal Suba due to being one of the main lines in the TransMilenio system.
