Overview
- The shutdown is slated to run from 00:00 to 24:00 on Tuesday, featuring an “engine shutdown” and a peaceful march with no blockades, according to organizers.
- Transportistas Unidos, ANCPP and Conet Perú say dozens of urban lines will halt service, while the Lima and Callao Urban Transport Chamber says most formal firms will not participate.
- Police leadership said security will be guaranteed and reported that many groups told authorities they would not stop, even as other operators confirm they will.
- PUCP and the University of Lima will shift Tuesday’s in-person classes to virtual formats due to expected transport disruptions.
- The action follows two driver homicides in Callao and a bus shooting in Chorrillos during a state of emergency; union leaders were invited to a Nov. 3 anti-extortion law signing but say the protest remains on.
