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

== Etymology ==
Avenida Suba is named after the locality Suba. Suba is either derived from the [[Chibcha language|Chibcha]] contraction ''Suba'', meaning "[[Opuntia|Flower of the Sun]]" (uba = "fruit" or "flower", sua = "Sun", minus its last vowel, making it a possessive)<ref>{{in lang|es}} [http://www.eltiempo.com/archivo/documento/CMS-13464779 Etymology Suba]</ref> or from the words ''sua'' (Sun) and ''sie'' (water).<ref name=Taringa>{{in lang|es}} [http://www.taringa.net/posts/apuntes-y-monografias/14795634/Colombia-en-anecdotas.html Etymology localities of Bogotá]</ref> It is also known as ''Troncal Suba'' due to being one of the main lines in the [[TransMilenio]] system.

== Route ==
Its southern end begins at the intersection of [[Norte-Quito-Sur|Avenida NQS]] with Calle 80 in the locality of [[Barrios Unidos]]. It runs north entering Suba at Calle 100. At the shopping center Centro Suba it splits into two, turning into ''Avenida Transversal de Suba'' (Calle 145) and ''Antigua Avenida de Suba'' (Calle 139).
