Overview

  • The stoppage is set to begin at 00:00 on Monday, October 6, and last 24 hours across Lima and Callao.
  • Organizers say service would resume on Tuesday, October 7, after the one‑day shutdown.
  • The action follows the Saturday night killing of driver Daniel José Cedeño Alfonso of Dipepsa, which unions attribute to extortionists.
  • A list of likely participants includes Consorcio VíaZ, Dipepsa, Loritos, Vipusa, Nueva América, Urbanito, Edilberto Ramos, Los Chinos, Huáscar, and Santa Catalina.
  • Transport leaders warn they will repeat motor shutdowns after future murders and argue police corruption and leaks hinder the fight against organized crime.
