Lima Transport Strike Has Limited Impact as Public Transit Largely Runs Normally

Reinforced policing alongside advance contingency plans kept services running.

Overview

  • Police launched the Amanecer Seguro operation from 4:30 a.m. and deployed 1,200 officers to secure routes and prevent road blockages.
  • Regional police chief Enrique Felipe Monroy reported roughly 78% of services operating and confirmed the Metro, Metropolitano and complementary corridors ran normally.
  • The Health Ministry said hospitals and institutes in Lima attended patients as usual and carried out scheduled procedures, with missed appointments eligible for reprogramming.
  • The Education Ministry shifted public-school classes in the capital to virtual for the day, while private institutions could adopt their own safety measures.
  • Reporters observed normal bus circulation at key northern stops and central arteries, including lines such as Etuchisa, El Rápido, Los Loritos, Virgen de la Puerta and Lipetsa, with no major incidents reported.
