Overview

• Union leaders reported more than 90% adherence, with formal buses largely off the roads, blockades on Túpac Amaru and stretches of the Panamericana Norte, and some units driving with doors closed as a protest signal.
• The ATU temporarily suspended Metropolitano feeder routes in Lima Norte due to confrontations, while Metro Line 1 operated across its 26 stations under unusually heavy demand.
• PNP chief in Lima Enrique Felipe Monroy said the SJL shooting of a Santa Catalina driver is preliminarily tied to the gang ‘Los Malditos de Huáscar’, citing vehicle identifications, three interventions and two likely detentions under Plan Amanecer Seguro.
• A driver was left in critical condition after being shot inside his bus in San Juan de Lurigancho, with police collecting ballistic evidence and pursuing homicide and extortion lines of inquiry.
• Authorities shifted schools to virtual classes for the day and multiple universities suspended in-person activities, as Transport Minister César Sandoval characterized the stoppage as partial despite widespread service disruptions.
