Overview
- Two gunmen on a motorcycle fired multiple rounds at Etupsa 73's depot in Villa María del Triunfo, hitting the facility but causing no reported injuries.
- Drivers and fare collectors decided to keep all buses immobilized and suspend routes until they receive clear, formal security assurances.
- Security cameras at the depot reportedly captured the attack and police are expected to review the footage to identify the attackers.
- Only a limited security presence has been reported at the site, with workers saying current protection is insufficient to allow a safe return to service.
- The assault follows earlier violence and extortion threats against Etupsa this year, including the June killing of a driver, raising broader fears about ongoing criminal pressure on Lima’s urban transport.
