Overview
- Gregorio Pernía recorded and posted an Instagram video on Monday showing him seated on a Corredor Azul bus en route to Larcomar where he invited followers to visit Miraflores, Callao, Puerto Maldonado and Trujillo.
- The video captured Pernía greeting the camera, speaking from the rear of the bus about riding a 'corredor' to learn how people live in Peru, and urging fans to explore city centers beyond tourist sights.
- The Autoridad de Transporte Urbano for Lima and Callao (ATU) and the official Corredor Azul account publicly thanked Pernía for sharing the ride, turning the post into a brief positive publicity moment for the corridor.
- Pernía remains on a national tour to promote his music, with performances reported in Trujillo, Puerto Maldonado, Pisco and Chincha and shows scheduled in Miraflores on September 10 and Pucallpa on September 11.
- The episode highlights how celebrity social posts can boost local tourism and bring attention to bus rapid transit; the Corredor Azul is a major BRT corridor in Lima and the ATU handles urban transit oversight for Lima and Callao.
