Lima Transit Reroutes Metropolitano and Aerodirecto During Center-City Protests

ATU warns riders to expect delays during the ongoing demonstrations.

Overview

  • Route C is limited to Estación Central, and Route A detours along Av. Alfonso Ugarte with a temporary stop at Quilca–El Peruano in both directions.
  • Aerodirecto service toward Jorge Chávez International Airport uses Av. Zepita, Av. Alfonso Ugarte and Jr. Cárcamo before returning to its usual route.
  • Aerodirecto toward the city center reaches only Plaza Dos de Mayo and begins its return via Jr. Ascope.
  • ATU says the operational changes will remain in effect while the protests continue and urges passengers to use alternative routes and plan for delays.
  • Several outlets report the mobilization was called by Generation Z, while another attributes it to social groups demanding stronger measures against crime.
