This text analyzes the ways in which a group of female workers in the city of Bogotá configure a set of specific spatio-temporal dynamics, giving their experience of public transportation. The basis for these dynamics lies on the conception of time as a value, as an essential investment that shapes the rest of the aspects related to the lives of these women. Time, then, revolves around two centers of gravity: work - in its various forms - and transportation. These centers of gravity are nodes in the organization of their daily lives. However, commuting undertakes this role because of its own indeterminacy. It is neither a spatio-temporal context that is part of work, even if it is necessary for this purpose, nor it is ‘leisure-time’. This indeterminacy leads us to the question of what role does labor law play in these dynamics; if it is not working time, nor leisure-time, then… whose time is it?

Palabras clave : Women; Work; Commuting; Temporal Capital; Space-time.
