Overview
- Formal urban operators suspended service for 24 hours across Lima and Callao, taking more than 22,000 units off the roads and prompting universities to shift classes online.
- President José Jerí met transport representatives in Rímac and said an additional norm to support the sector and combat extortion will be published on Saturday.
- Jerí said two decrees were issued as tools for authorities, including a ban on two riders on a motorcycle and measures to professionalize drivers.
- The Labor Ministry urged telework and asked employers to grant a four-hour arrival tolerance without disciplinary sanctions, with time to be compensated later.
- Some union leaders refused talks during the stoppage, denouncing a media show and demanding concrete timelines, elite anti-extortion operations, and a response to recent grenade attacks on transport units.
